too_o full_a a_o pursuit_n upon_o you_o i_o know_v it_o be_v scarce_o possible_a to_o hinder_v a_o man_n to_o pursue_v who_o be_v full_o resolve_v to_o do_v it_o but_o my_o meaning_n be_v that_o you_o do_v not_o humour_v his_o pursuit_n too_o much_o by_o either_o altogether_o quit_v a_o half_a pursuit_n which_o you_o shall_v for_o the_o most_o part_n make_v use_n of_o till_o you_o change_v it_o into_o a_o true_a one_o or_o by_o break_v too_o much_o his_o measure_n which_o be_v common_o call_v lose_v of_o ground_n for_o a_o too_o frequent_a use_n of_o either_o do_v both_o give_v a_o man_n a_o ill_a habit_n so_o that_o he_o can_v without_o difficulty_n forbear_v they_o when_o he_o will_v and_o also_o make_v his_o adversary_n the_o brisk_a &_o encourage_v he_o to_o continue_v his_o pursuit_n with_o the_o more_o violence_n and_o furry_v when_o he_o find_v he_o be_v give_v so_o much_o way_n to_o and_o it_o be_v also_o general_o observe_v that_o he_o who_o be_v the_o brisk_v pursuer_fw-mi have_v most_o common_o the_o better_a of_o it_o especial_o if_o both_o party_n be_v alike_o dexterous_a &_o equal_o master_n of_o the_o parrade_n but_o this_o observation_n do_v not_o alwise_o hold_v good_a although_o i_o can_v deny_v but_o if_o a_o man_n make_v a_o vigorous_a pursuit_n conduct_v so_o with_o judgement_n as_o that_o he_o can_v upon_o a_o sudden_a alter_v it_o into_o a_o parrade_n he_o will_v seldom_o find_v any_o great_a perjudice_n by_o it_o and_o it_o be_v upon_o that_o very_a account_n i_o recommend_v the_o prevent_n of_o it_o by_o a_o half_a pursuit_n in_o a_o man_n adversary_n as_o much_o as_o be_v possible_a for_o to_o make_v a_o full_a pursuit_n without_o have_v a_o fair_a opportunity_n be_v but_o to_o play_v at_o random_n and_o expose_v one_o self_n to_o inevitable_a contretemp_n and_o exchange_v thrust_v and_o so_o render_v art_n altogether_o in_o effectual_a therefore_o the_o only_a safe_a and_o reasonable_a method_n to_o prevent_v any_o of_o these_o dangerous_a extreme_n be_v to_o make_v use_n of_o a_o brisk_a medium_fw-la or_o half_a pursuit_n which_o you_o may_v alter_v at_o pleasure_n or_o as_o you_o shall_v be_v put_v to_o a_o pinch_n particular_a rules_n for_o the_o second_o circumstance_n have_v by_o these_o two_o general_n rule_v lay_v a_o solid_a foundation_n to_o be_v use_v against_o all_o humour_n and_o person_n whatsoever_o i_o shall_v now_o proceed_v to_o those_o which_o relate_v more_o particular_o to_o this_o second_o circumstance_n and_o rule_v 1._o first_o be_v to_o assault_v public_o and_o have_v shift_v yourself_o and_o come_v to_o the_o place_n of_o assault_n your_o adversary_n be_v there_o also_o salute_v he_o with_o your_o fluret_n as_o your_o master_n shall_v have_v teach_v you_o with_o as_o good_a a_o grace_n as_o possible_a and_o then_o put_v yourself_o into_o what_o posture_n or_o guard_n you_o intend_v to_o play_v from_o be_v sure_a to_o do_v both_o without_o your_o adversary_n measure_v lest_o he_o shall_v surprise_v you_o with_o any_o sudden_a or_o unexpected_a motion_n rule_n 2._o second_o be_v thus_o upon_o your_o guard_n and_o resolve_v to_o make_v some_o attempt_n be_v sure_a before_o you_o do_v it_o to_o consider_v what_o contrary_n he_o may_v make_v use_n of_o against_o the_o lesson_n wherewith_o you_o design_v to_o attaque_fw-la he_o that_o so_o you_o may_v prevent_v they_o for_o a_o man_n who_o begin_v any_o pursuit_n without_o this_o consideration_n expose_v himself_o to_o inevitable_a hazard_n and_o danger_n i_o can_v illustrate_v this_o better_a than_o by_o compare_v it_o to_o a_o gamester_n conduct_v at_o chess_n which_o game_n although_o it_o differ_v vast_o from_o fence_v as_o to_o the_o particular_a manner_n of_o execute_v its_o design_n yet_o the_o reason_n upon_o which_o both_o their_o executive_a part_n be_v ground_v be_v the_o very_a same_o for_o as_o at_o that_o game_n no_o understanding_n player_n will_v offer_v to_o move_v any_o of_o his_o man_n until_o he_o have_v first_o reckon_v two_o or_o three_o at_o least_o of_o the_o stroke_n which_o his_o adversary_n can_v play_v against_o he_o if_o he_o shall_v make_v such_o or_o such_o a_o step_n that_o so_o he_o may_v not_o only_o the_o better_o secure_v his_o own_o man_n but_o also_o endanger_v the_o take_n of_o his_o adversary_n if_o he_o upon_o the_o other_o hand_n be_v not_o full_o as_o circumspect_a to_o defend_v they_o so_o in_o fence_v although_o it_o be_v as_o quick_a and_o active_a a_o excercise_n as_o the_o other_o be_v a_o slow_a and_o tedious_a but_o most_o divert_v game_n yet_o notwithstanding_o of_o the_o swiftness_n it_o require_v there_o be_v a_o absolute_a necessity_n for_o every_o man_n before_o he_o engage_v in_o a_o attaque_fw-la first_o to_o consider_v what_o he_o be_v to_o do_v himself_o and_o then_o what_o contrary_n his_o adversary_n can_v use_v against_o he_o and_o if_o he_o neglect_v this_o whatever_o he_o do_v be_v but_o at_o random_n and_o he_o can_v never_o expect_v it_o can_v succeed_v unless_o it_o be_v by_o mere_a hazard_n and_o chance_n whereas_o if_o he_o do_v consider_v or_o as_o the_o proverb_n be_v look_v before_o he_o leap_v he_o will_v not_o only_o in_o a_o manner_n prevent_v his_o own_o ruin_n but_o also_o make_v it_o the_o more_o difficult_a for_o his_o adversary_n to_o oppose_v his_o pursuit_n and_o defend_v himself_o and_o have_v thus_o consider_v what_o contrarys_n his_o attaque_fw-la may_v meet_v with_o he_o shall_v then_o go_v brisk_o forward_o with_o it_o and_o fear_v nothing_o see_v he_o already_o know_v what_o in_o reason_n may_v be_v expect_v for_o as_o it_o be_v a_o old_a and_o wise_a maxim_n among_o great_a and_o experience_a general_n that_o in_o their_o council_n before_o they_o venture_v to_o give_v battle_n they_o ought_v to_o foresee_v all_o danger_n but_o in_o fight_v to_o oversee_v they_o that_o by_o their_o good_a example_n they_o may_v the_o more_o embolden_v and_o encourage_v their_o soldier_n to_o do_v the_o like_a so_o shall_v a_o understand_a swordman_n endeavour_v to_o foresee_v what_o contrary_n his_o adversary_n may_v use_v against_o his_o pursuit_n but_o when_o once_o he_o be_v engage_v he_o shall_v oversee_v they_o that_o be_v not_o be_v discourage_v but_o go_v bold_o forward_o as_o if_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o hazard_v or_o danger_n to_o oppose_v he_o rule_v 3_o three_o have_v resolve_v upon_o the_o lesson_n you_o intend_v to_o make_v use_n of_o of_o which_o you_o may_v find_v a_o great_a variety_n in_o my_o book_n entitle_v the_o scot_n fence_v master_n immediate_o approach_v upon_o he_o with_o the_o half_a pursuit_n of_o it_o to_o try_v how_o he_o receive_v you_o if_o you_o find_v he_o give_v way_n by_o retire_v then_o by_o redouble_v continue_v your_o pursuit_n and_o change_v it_o into_o a_o true_a one_o have_v alwise_o a_o special_a care_n that_o he_o take_v not_o time_n upon_o you_o when_o you_o be_v in_o the_o heat_n of_o your_o pursuit_n for_o perhaps_o it_o may_v be_v upon_o that_o design_n that_o he_o break_v your_o measure_n a_o little_a at_o first_o therefore_o have_v a_o care_n of_o it_o but_o upon_o the_o contrary_a if_o you_o either_o find_v he_o stand_v fix_v to_o receive_v you_o or_o approach_v and_o meet_v you_o also_o with_o a_o pursuit_n then_o notwithstanding_o of_o your_o continue_v your_o half_a pursuit_n for_o remember_v to_o give_v alwise_o as_o little_a way_n as_o possible_a have_v your_o parrade_n still_o in_o readiness_n that_o in_o a_o instant_n you_o may_v defend_v yourself_o when_o he_o shall_v put_v you_o to_o it_o that_o be_v when_o you_o perceive_v he_o will_v be_v at_o you_o although_o he_o shall_v do_v it_o with_o the_o hazard_n of_o a_o thrust_v therefore_o when_o you_o find_v he_o press_v so_o hard_a home_o take_v yourself_o to_o the_o defensive_a part_n and_o break_v his_o measure_n a_o little_a answer_n he_o with_o thrust_v smart_o give_v from_o the_o res●ost_o and_o if_o you_o perform_v this_o neat_o you_o will_v find_v he_o will_v have_v but_o a_o small_a if_o any_o advantage_n at_o all_o by_o his_o so_o ventorious_a a_o pursuit_n rule_n 4._o four_o whatever_o part_n you_o take_v yourself_o to_o whither_o defensive_a or_o offensive_a perform_v it_o alwise_o patient_o and_o with_o judgement_n but_o with_o all_o the_o life_n smartness_n
