The Defense of the Low Ward at Sword and Round Target
`````````````````````````````````````````````````````

All the foresaid thrusts are warded, by not suffering the sword to be found
by the enemy with either of his weapons. For the enemy (not finding it,
will not assure himself, or presume to enter, without first finding of the
sword) may most easily be struck and not strike, if a man increase a slope
pace, (to the end he may void his body from hurt,) and with the increase of
a straight pace of the right foot, do also discharge a thrust beneath. And
after this order he may strike safely, (not only when his sword is not
found by the enemy, but also when it chances to be found) if he be ready
and nimble to make his slope pace, and to beat off, as forcible as he may,
the enemy's Target with his own sword and Target, thereby forcing a low
thrust to enter in, with the increase of a pace with the right foot. And
thus much concerning the true striking and defending of the sword and round
Target.
