the Wrist, and if with his Feeble, you must Counter-disengage from the Inside to the Outside. 5th. If he makes a Feint in order to return in _Tierce_, you must either parry or take the Time as I have said. 6th. If he disengages giving Light, to take a Counter on your Thrust, whether by Rispost or Time, you must make a Feint, and if he parrys with his Fort you must cut under in _Seconde_, if with his Feeble, you must disengage and push _Quarte_, if he takes the Time strait, you must lower the body, if he takes Time lowering his body, you must parry and push strait in _Quarte_, if he cuts in _Flank_, you must parry crossing the Sword in _Quarte_, and if he volts, you must parry and risposte in _Flanconnade_. If on the Engagement without, he comes to your Sword with his Fort, you must cut under in _Seconde_, if with his Feeble, disengage or cut over the Point in _Quarte_. _When you are engaged within the_ Sword.

If you are engaged in _Tierce_ with the Fort, you must cut under the Wrist in _Seconde_, and if with the Feeble, and the Hand in _Quarte_, disengage to _Quarte_ within, or, by Way of Caution, make a Half-thrust; if the Adversary goes to the Parade, you must push where you have Light, and if he takes the Time, parry and risposte, or take a Time to his.
