Fifteenth Play

Also this is a play of Breaking the Thrust that is the second play that is before me, that is when I have beaten the sword to the ground immediately I strike with the right foot on his sword. And in that deed I strike to injure him in the head, as you can see.
Sixteenth Play

This is also another play of Breaking the Thrust, that if the player in the breaking, because I have borken his thrust, lifts his sword to cover mine, immediately I put the hilt of my sword within the part of his right arm near his right hnad and immediately I grab hold of my sword with my left hand near the point and strike the player in the head. And if I wanted to I can put it to his neck to saw the windpipe of his throat.
Seventeenth Play

Also when I have Broke the Thrust or I have truely crossed with a Player I put my hand behind his right elbow and strongly I pinch in this way that I will makehim turn and uncover, and hten I can strike him in the turning that I make him do.
Eighteenth Play

This scholar who is before me says the truth because with the turn that he makes you do in this way I come to cut the back of your head. Also before you could return to your cover I could give you an open wound with a thrust to your back.
