A stab against the taking away

Item: conduct yourself thus in this device with the onset. Wind yourself with stabs and with thrusts doubly in at him [so] that your left leg comes in forward and [you] stab him at his right side [so] that the thumb stands by your rondel [1].

If he thus stabs at your right side and you stand with your right foot forward, so take that away from the binding behind his rondel [so] that your thumb is [shall be] above on your pommel. Immediately step with your left foot behind his right* and set your left hand behind his right elbow; shove him therewith from you and stab him at his neck [2].

If he has thus set on, so set your left foot back and grab with your left hand outward over his right and stab him at his face [3]. If he takes that away with his dagger, so grab with your left hand on his right; push him therewith under himself and thrust him in his face [4].

If he thus thrusts doubly at you, so grab with your left hand on his right arm, step with your right foot behind his right and shove him with strength from yourself [5].
