--A setting aside out of the Shears against a left face thrust

Item, conduct yourself thus in the Shears. Stand with your left foot forward, your dagger in front by your left knee, the thumb by the rondel, the left arm crosswise on your right. If he then stands thus against you with his left foot forward, the dagger in his left hand, in the High and desires to thrust at your face, so step in with your right leg and go up out of the Shears. Immediately set aside the thrust with your left arm and with the right arm thrust him over his left arm at his face. If he then takes away your thrust with his dagger on his left arm, so change through immediately nimbly from his left onto his right side.

If he thus thrusts doubly at you, so take your dagger out of the left hand in your right and take that away in front on your dagger. Immediately step with your right foot behind his right and stab him doubly at his right side.

If he thus stabs in doubly, so take that away from your right side and spring with your left foot behind him on his right side; immediately snatch his right arm and stab and shove him therewith from you.
