---A genital thrust with a throw

Item: when you both in the onset come together so, stand with your right foot forward and stab at his genitals [1].

If he thus stabs at you below and you stand with your right foot forward, so seize your dagger in both hands and press away therewith his low thrust [2].

If he has thus taken your thrust away so step with your left leg in front on his right foot. Immediately grip with your left hand behind around his neck and tug therewith strongly toward yourself so you will throw him in front underneath yourself [3].

If you want to counter that, so release your right hand from your dagger and grip therewith well under his left elbow. Immediately shove strongly away from yourself so you can throw him and so you will be free from his hurts [4].
