en you please you may take the pursuit, or when he makes variety of
Feints, give a plain home Thrust, as smart as may be, and endeavour to
defend your self from Counter-temps with your Left-hand, and to prevent
them, it is always in this Case best when you give a Thrust, to use your
Left-hand.

Lesson 7. _The Single Feint at the Head._

Being within distance you may present your Sword within or without your
Opponents Sword, making a Feint or Motion at his Face, if your Sword be
presented without, by a little stretching out your Right-Arm, your Nails
in Quart, and when you make the Motion, give a little beat with your
Right-foot, and if the Feint be answered, then immediately give in your
Thrust at his Arm-pit your Head under your Sword-arm, your Left-hand
held before you, with the Palm of it looking towards your Right-side,
and that part of your Arm, from the Points of your Fingers to your

Quart; and by this means your Body will be kept secure within your
Sword, when in Terce it would ly open, especially to Counter-temps.

There is a Parying the contrary, either with the Counter-caveating
Parade, or by answering every Motion, by what means you will fall to
Parie your Adversaries with the first Parade in Terce.

Lesson 9. _Containing the manner of the Feint at the Head on the True
Parade._

The contrary to the second Parade is this, and to do it you must make
your Motion at your Adversaries Face, and if you imagine he intends to
Parie you with the second Counter-caveating Parade, make round his
Sword, as it were going a circle about it, and so give a Thrust at his
