A13248	The schoole of the noble and worthy science of defence Being the first of any English-mans inuention, which professed the sayd science; so plainly described, that any man may quickly come to the true knowledge of their weapons, with small paines and little practise. Then reade it aduisedly, and vse the benefit thereof when occasion shal serue, so shalt thou be a good common-wealth man, liue happy to thy selfe, and comfortable to thy friend. Also many other good and profitable precepts and counsels for the managing of quarrels, and ordering thy selfe in many other matters. Written by Ioseph Svvetnam.

weapon_n as_o this_o picture_n seem_v but_o so_o long_o as_o you_o lie_v in_o your_o guard_n let_v there_o be_v three_o foot_n distance_n betwixt_o your_o weapon_n but_o if_o your_o enemy_n do_v charge_n you_o either_o with_o blow_n or_o thrust_v carry_v your_o sword_n over_o your_o body_n against_o your_o enemy_n assault_n and_o so_o cross_a with_o he_o according_a to_o the_o picture_n bear_v also_o your_o point_n steady_a over_o your_o body_n something_o slope_v towards_o your_o left_a shoulder_n i_o mean_v the_o point_n must_v go_v so_o far_o as_o the_o hilt_n but_o not_o turn_v your_o point_n the_o contrary_a way_n but_o carry_v they_o both_o together_o i_o will_v make_v it_o plain_o by_o and_o by_o because_o i_o will_v have_v thou_o to_o understand_v it_o wise_o for_o have_v with_o a_o true_a defence_n defend_v your_o enemy_n blow_n or_o thrust_v by_o cross_v with_o he_o or_o by_o bear_v your_o weapon_n against_o his_o assault_n as_o before_o say_v the_o danger_n be_v past_a then_o present_o at_o the_o same_o instant_n and_o with_o one_o motion_n turn_v down_o the_o point_n of_o your_o sword_n turn_v your_o knuckle_n inward_a and_o so_o thrust_v it_o home_o to_o our_o enemy_n thigh_n but_o with_o all_o step_v forth_o with_o your_o foot_n and_o hand_n together_o but_o there_o be_v a_o great_a observation_n to_o be_v have_v in_o your_o practice_n concern_v the_o true_a carriage_n of_o your_o point_n for_o in_o your_o defence_n if_o you_o do_v not_o carry_v your_o sword_n true_a than_o it_o be_v hard_o to_o defend_v either_o blow_n or_o thrust_v for_o if_o you_o carry_v the_o hilt_n of_o your_o sword_n against_o either_o blow_n or_o thrust_v as_o do_v not_o carry_v the_o point_n withal_o level_a even_o as_o you_o lay_v in_o your_o guard_n according_a to_o the_o picture_n then_o your_o hand_n and_o face_n be_v endanger_v but_o bear_v the_o hilt_n and_o the_o point_n about_o a_o foot_n over_o your_o body_n towards_o your_o left_a side_n and_o likewise_o to_o bear_v your_o sword_n stiff_o out_o at_o the_o arm_n end_n without_o bow_v of_o your_o elbow_n joint_n provide_v always_o that_o your_o sword_n be_v in_o your_o right_a hand_n you_o must_v look_v with_o both_o your_o eye_n on_o the_o inside_n of_o your_o sword_n for_o than_o you_o have_v but_o one_o kind_n of_o defence_n so_o that_o the_o point_n of_o your_o sword_n be_v slope_v towards_o the_o left_a shoulder_n but_o otherwise_o if_o you_o keep_v the_o point_n of_o your_o sword_n uprigth_n than_o your_o enemy_n have_v three_o way_n to_o endanger_v you_o especial_o if_o you_o carry_v your_o sword_n right_a before_o the_o midst_n of_o your_o belly_n with_o the_o point_n upright_o as_o i_o have_v know_v some_o hold_n a_o opinion_n of_o that_o way_n to_o be_v good_a but_o i_o say_v he_o that_o trust_v to_o that_o guard_n may_v be_v hit_v in_o the_o head_n with_o a_o sudden_a wrist-blow_n if_o his_o practice_n be_v never_o so_o good_a and_o likewise_o both_o his_o arm_n be_v unguarded_a and_o to_o be_v danger_v either_o with_o blow_n or_o thrust_v but_o if_o you_o guard_v yourself_o after_o my_o direction_n than_o your_o enemy_n have_v but_o only_o the_o left_a side_n of_o your_o head_n and_o your_o leg_n open_a and_o they_o be_v easy_a to_o be_v defend_v the_o leg_n by_o pluck_v he_o up_o the_o which_o you_o must_v do_v upon_o every_o blow_n which_o your_o enemy_n charge_v you_o withal_o and_o with_o the_o same_o defend_v the_o head_n and_o body_n carry_v your_o sword_n over_o your_o body_n towards_o your_o left_a side_n the_o point_n and_o hilt_n both_o steadie_a as_o i_o have_v before_o say_v now_o although_o i_o here_o speak_v altogether_o of_o a_o backsword_n it_o be_v not_o so_o mean_v but_o the_o guard_n be_v so_o call_v and_o therefore_o whether_o you_o be_v weapon_v with_o a_o two_o edge_a sword_n or_o with_o a_o rapier_n yet_o frame_v your_o guard_n in_o this_o manner_n and_o form_n as_o before_o say_v another_o very_a sure_a and_o dangerous_a guard_n at_o the_o backsword_n call_v the_o unicorn_n guard_n or_o the_o forehand_n guard_n bear_v the_o sword_n hilt_n so_o high_a as_o your_o face_n keep_v he_o out_o at_o the_o arm_n end_n without_o bow_v of_o your_o elbow_n joint_n and_o always_o keep_v your_o point_n direct_o upon_o your_o enemy_n face_n and_o your_o knuckle_n of_o your_o sword_n hand_n upward_o but_o if_o your_o enemy_n do_v charge_n you_o with_o a_o blow_n to_o the_o right_a side_n of_o your_o head_n then_o turn_v but_o your_o sword_n hilt_n and_o your_o knuckle_n outward_a still_o keep_v your_o sword_n arm_v stiff_o in_o his_o place_n turn_v but_o only_o your_o wrist_n and_o your_o hand_n this_o be_v a_o very_a dangerous_a guard_n to_o your_o enemy_n be_v carry_v with_o a_o strong_a arm_n for_o by_o reason_n that_o you_o keep_v he_o out_o at_o the_o point_n end_n be_v so_o direct_o in_o his_o face_n that_o he_o can_v come_v near_o you_o without_o great_a danger_n either_o of_o blow_n or_o thrust_v but_o indeed_o if_o your_o sword_n be_v not_o carry_v out_o with_o a_o strong_a arm_n than_o your_o enemy_n may_v endanger_v your_o head_n by_o strike_v of_o two_o blow_n together_o the_o one_o be_v strike_v at_o the_o point_n of_o your_o sword_n to_o strick_v he_o down_o and_o the_o other_o to_o your_o head_n but_o they_o must_v be_v strike_v both_o together_o very_o

to_o you_o and_o so_o by_o that_o slip_n his_o first_o stroke_n he_o will_v over_o carry_v he_o so_o that_o if_o you_o turn_v a_o over-hand_n blow_v to_o his_o head_n you_o may_v hit_v he_o before_o he_o can_v recover_v his_o sword_n to_o strike_v his_o second_o blow_n or_o defend_v himself_o lie_v in_o this_o long_a guard_n you_o may_v slip_v every_o blow_n that_o be_v strike_v pluck_v in_o your_o sword_n even_o as_o you_o see_v your_o enemy_n strike_v and_o turn_v it_o over_o to_o the_o right_a side_n of_o his_o head_n a_o close_a at_o backsword_n lie_v in_o thy_o guard_n according_a unto_o the_o picture_n at_o single_a rapier_n and_o when_o you_o mean_v to_o close_v lift_v up_o the_o hilt_n of_o thy_o word_n so_o high_a as_o thy_o cheek_n and_o charge_v thy_o enemy_n with_o a_o thrust_v direct_o at_o his_o face_n and_o with_o the_o same_o motion_n step_n in_o with_o thy_o hind_n most_o foot_n turn_v the_o knuckle_n of_o thy_o sword-hand_n inward_a and_o so_o bear_v thy_o

hold_v and_o then_o you_o may_v either_o trip_v up_o his_o heel_n or_o cut_v or_o thrust_v he_o with_o your_o weapon_n and_o in_o this_o manner_n you_o may_v close_v with_o a_o rapier_n also_o if_o you_o can_v make_v your_o party_n good_a at_o the_o gripe_n or_o close_v for_o your_o enemy_n in_o bear_v over_o his_o sword_n over_o his_o body_n to_o defend_v his_o face_n from_o your_o thrust_n he_o there_o by_o carry_v away_o his_o point_n so_o that_o he_o can_v endanger_v you_o if_o you_o follow_v it_o in_o close_a and_o quick_a false_a play_n with_o the_o backsword_n your_o enemy_n be_v in_o his_o guard_n and_o lie_v at_o watch_n for_o advantage_n you_o may_v feign_v a_o blow_n at_o the_o rightside_n of_o his_o head_n and_o present_o with_o the_o turn_n of_o your_o handwrist_n strike_v it_o home_o to_o his_o left-side_n which_o be_v do_v quick_a you_o may_v hit_v a_o reasonable_a good_a player_n for_o he_o will_v bear_v his_o sword_n against_o the_o feign_a blow_n and_o by_o that_o mean_n unguard_v his_o left-side_n but_o at_o no_o hand_n you_o must_v not_o let_v the_o feign_a blow_n touch_v your_o enemy_n sword_n but_o give_v your_o sword_n a_o sudden_a check_n and_o so_o strike_v it_o to_o the_o contrarieside_n for_o if_o your_o feign_a blow_n do_v join_v with_o your_o enemy_n sword_n it_o will_v stay_v his_o sword_n within_o the_o compass_n of_o true_a

of_o defence_n of_o the_o second_o blow_n which_o you_o determine_v to_o hit_v he_o withal_o so_o likewise_o you_o may_v feign_v your_o blow_n at_o the_o left-side_n of_o your_o enemy_n head_n but_o

thrust_n may_v endanger_v you_o therefore_o for_o this_o high_a guard_n you_o must_v look_v that_o your_o staff_n be_v of_o that_o length_n that_o you_o may_v carry_v the_o point_n clean_o from_o the_o ground_n in_o defend_v of_o a_o thrust_n but_o for_o the_o low_a guard_n it_o be_v no_o matter_n of_o what_o length_n your_o staff_n be_v question_n and_o answer_n betwixt_o the_o master_n and_o

the_o master_n i_o commend_v the_o low_a guard_n best_o for_o that_o it_o serve_v with_o the_o quarterstaff_n of_o seven_o or_o eight_o foot_n or_o for_o the_o long-staffe_n of_o twelve_o foot_n and_o for_o the_o pike_n of_o eighteen_o foot_n for_o i_o have_v make_v trial_n with_o man_n of_o good_a experience_n which_o have_v lie_v in_o other_o guard_n according_a to_o their_o practice_n as_o some_o at_o quarterstaff_n will_v lay_v their_o point_n upon_o the_o ground_n overthwart_v their_o body_n hold_v the_o butte-end_n of_o their_o staff_n so_o low_a as_o their_o girdlestead_n he_o that_o thus_o lie_v the_o best_a way_n to_o hit_v he_o be_v to_o proffer_v or_o fain_o a_o thrust_n at_o his_o face_n and_o present_o put_v it_o home_o below_o for_o he_o will_v carry_v his_o staff_n up_o to_o save_v his_o face_n but_o can_v put_v he_o down_o again_o before_o you_o have_v hit_v he_o underneath_o as_o beforesaid_a but_o with_o quickness_n you_o may_v hit_v he_o in_o the_o face_n or_o breast_n and_o never_o falsify_v your_o thrust_n but_o put_v it_o in_o sudden_o turn_v the_o heel_n of_o hinder_a hand_n upward_o withal_o and_o if_o your_o enemy_n lie_v at_o halfe-staffe_n hold_v he_o in_o the_o midst_n his_o hand_n that_o so_o lie_v be_v in_o danger_n of_o every_o blow_n that_o come_v but_o the_o best_a way_n to_o hit_v he_o that_o so_o lie_v without_o danger_n to_o thyself_o be_v with_o a_o false_a thrust_n and_o that_o be_v to_o proffer_v it_o on_o the_o one_o side_n of_o his_o staff_n and_o to_o put_v it_o home_o on_o the_o other_o according_a to_o the_o direction_n of_o the_o false_a play_n that_o follow_v but_o first_o let_v i_o make_v a_o end_n of_o that_o which_o i_o have_v begin_v and_o so_o we_o will_v proceed_v some_o will_v lie_v with_o the_o

whatsoever_o he_o be_v high_a or_o low_o weak_a or_o strong_a the_o low_a guard_n be_v best_a the_o scholar_n if_o the_o low_a guard_n be_v so_o strong_a for_o my_o defence_n what_o need_n have_v i_o

you_o think_v you_o can_v make_v your_o party_n good_a with_o he_o when_o you_o have_v close_v the_o scholar_n i_o pray_v you_o direct_v i_o the_o best_a manner_n of_o close_v the_o master_n when_o you_o encounter_v with_o any_o man_n that_o have_v a_o staff_n a_o welch-hooke_n or_o a_o halberd_n and_o yourself_o be_v arm_v with_o any_o one_o of_o these_o weapon_n present_v a_o thrust_n to_o

you_o shall_v carry_v your_o enemy_n point_n over_o your_o head_n by_o that_o mean_n but_o you_o must_v not_o be_v slack_a in_o follow_v of_o it_o in_o for_o he_o will_v bear_v the_o point_n of_o his_o weapon_n so_o high_a to_o defend_v his_o face_n that_o he_o can_v recover_v his_o staff_n by_o no_o mean_n to_o endanger_v you_o and_o when_o you_o have_v make_v your_o close_n you_o may_v

for_o defence_n and_o likewise_o to_o turn_v in_o the_o butt-end_n of_o your_o staff_n unto_o his_o face_n or_o breast_n and_o if_o you_o listen_v this_o be_v a_o sure_a defence_n for_o such_o a_o
