PARA MEYOR INTELIGENCIA DE LOS movimientos, Angulos, y rectitudines del brazo, y Eſpada, en comprobacion de lo demonſtrado, ſe vuelve à facilitar en las figuras, y explicacion ſiguiente.

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

FOR A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE movements, Angles, and straightnesses of the arm and Sword, in confirmation of what has been demonstrated, it is further facilitated in the following figures and explanation.

Aunque lo que haſta aora ſe ha dicho de eſtos planos, parecia ſuficiente para regular los movimientos, aſsi del brazo, como de la Eſpada; no obſtante me ha parecido añadir otra eſpeculacion, que no parecerà de menor vtilidad que las referidas, antes la vna con la otra han de facilitar mucho eſta obra.

Although what has been said so far about these planes seemed sufficient to regulate the movements of both the arm and the Sword; nonetheless, I have deemed it appropriate to add another speculation, which will not seem of lesser utility than the aforementioned, rather one with the other will greatly facilitate this work.

Los Marineros para el govierno, y buena direccion de ſus Navios por los Mares, no ſolo ſe valen de los rumbos pueſtos paralelos al Orizonte, mas tambien ſe valen de vn inſtrumento que inclinan entre ſu viſta, y el Polo, para obſervar el movimiento de las Eſtrellas de junto à los Polos, para ſaber por medio de eſta obſervacion la altura, y parage en que ſe hallan: lo miſmo hazen para el movimiento de la Luna, conſiderandole paralelo al circulo equinocial, para ſaber enmedio del Mar à las partes que corren las aguas en las crecientes, y menguantes de cada dia; y todo eſto lo han hecho los Geographos para evitar la multiplicacion de inſtrumentos, para no embarazarlos con diferentes vſos, imaginaciones, ò reglas.

Sailors, for the governance and good direction of their Ships on the Seas, not only rely on the courses set parallel to the Horizon, but they also use an instrument which they incline between their sight and the Pole, to observe the movement of the Stars near the Poles, to know through this observation the height and position in which they find themselves: they do the same for the movement of the Moon, considering it parallel to the equinoctial circle, to know in the middle of the Sea the directions the waters flow in the crescents and wanes of each day; and all this has been done by Geographers to avoid the multiplication of instruments, so as not to burden them with different uses, imaginations, or rules.

Lo miſmo hemos de hazer noſotros, valiendonos para obſervar el movimiento, lugar, ò poſicion de la Eſpada del Dieſtro, ò de ſu adverſario, imaginando en medio de los dos combatientes, vn circulo perpendicular al Orizonte; y en la forma que el circulo particular, que ſe conſidera en el plano inferior, eſtà dividido en ocho rumbos, ò caminos, para governar los movimientos, ò compaſes del Dieſtro en el ſuelo; tambein eſte circuloſe dividirà en ocho partes iguales, para regular el movimiento de la Eſpada en el Ayre.

We must do the same, using to observe the movement, place, or position of the Sword of the Fencer or his adversary, imagining in the middle of the two combatants, a circle perpendicular to the Horizon; and in the way that the particular circle, which is considered in the lower plane, is divided into eight courses or paths, to govern the movements or compasses of the Fencer on the ground; this circle will also be divided into eight equal parts, to regulate the movement of the Sword in the Air.

Las partes en que ſe divide eſte circulo ſon otros tantos lugares, en que ſe halla todo lo neceſſario para la intenligencia de las operaciones que pertenecen al brazo, y Eſpada, como ſon las eſpecies de los Angulos, y las eſpecies de los movimientos, y las ſeis rectitudes ſimples, y las quatro eſpecies de mixtas, que ſe imaginan en el Ayre, à imitacion de los lugares que hemos conſiderado en el ſuelo, ò plano inferior, para regular los movimeintos del cuerpo, ſiguiendo en eſtas imaginaciones, como ya và referido, à los Marineros, que no ſolo ſe valen de los rumbos, para governar los movimientos de los Navios por la ſuerficie de las aguas; pero tambien ſe valen de las miſmas conſideraciones, y terminos en el Ayre, para regular los movimientos de los Aſtros: todo en orden à la perfeccion de ſu viage, y llegar al puerto que tienen deſtinado; y pues en vn mare magnum han podido los hombre con eſtas imaginaciones, hallar modo para conducirſe à qualquiera parte del Mundo, evitando los reiſgos de los vaxios, y eſcollos, y otros peligros; ſe nos ha de conceder mayor facilidad en la inteligencia, y aplicacion de eſtas miſmas conſideraciones en los movimientos del cuerpo, que puede hazer vn hombre con ſu brazo, y Eſpada, para evitar los rieſgos, y peligros que tiene con vn contrario, opueſto tambien con vna Eſpada en la mano, porque con los movimientos del cuerpo, que llamamos compaſes, y mociones ſobre fu centro, y de los del brazo, y Eſpada, con admirable artificio ſe paſſa à la formacion, y execucion de todas las tretas, concordando los movimeintos ſuperiores con los inferiores, ſegun lo pide de la naturaleza de cada vno para ſu mayor perfeccion, cauſando los dos efectos preciſos de defenſa, y ofenſa: eſto ſupueſto, vengamos à demonſtrar el circulo, explicando en èl lo que hemos ofrecido, y ſerà en la forma figuiente.

The parts into which this circle is divided are as many places where everything necessary for the understanding of the operations that pertain to the arm and Sword can be found, such as the types of Angles, the types of movements, and the six simple straightnesses, as well as the four types of mixed straightnesses, which are imagined in the Air, in imitation of the places we have considered on the ground or lower plane, to regulate the movements of the body. Following in these imaginings, as already mentioned, the Sailors, who not only rely on the courses to govern the movements of the Ships over the surface of the waters; but also use the same considerations and terms in the Air, to regulate the movements of the Stars: all in order for the perfection of their voyage, and to reach the port they have destined; and since in a vast sea men have been able with these imaginings to find a way to conduct themselves to any part of the World, avoiding the risks of shallows, and reefs, and other dangers; greater ease must be granted to us in the understanding and application of these same considerations in the movements of the body, which a man can make with his arm and Sword, to avoid the risks and dangers that he has with an adversary, also opposed with a Sword in hand, because with the movements of the body, which we call compasses, and motions on its center, and those of the arm and Sword, with admirable artifice, one passes to the formation and execution of all the tricks, harmonizing the upper movements with the lower ones, according to what the nature of each one demands for its greater perfection, causing the two precise effects of defense and offense: this being supposed, let us come to demonstrate the circle, explaining in it what we have offered, and it will be in the following form.

Sea el Circulo E.F.G.H. &c. pueſto perpendicularmente ſobre el plano inferior A.C.B. y tenga ſu ſemidiametro de cinco pies. que es la altura que ſuponemos que tiene vn hombre de perfecta eſtatura deſde el centro del pie derecho haſta el centro del brazo derecho; deſuerte, que eſtando afirmado ſobre Angulo recto, y en Angulo recto con ſu brazo, y Eſpada paralela al Orizone, paſſe por el centro de eſte circulo, y la divida por medio; y para que ſe vea mejor, acompañarèmos eſta demonſtracion, que eſtà en monteallana, con otra que eſtà en perſepctivam y los dos combatientes afirmados en ſus medios de proporcion en Angulo, y ſobre Angulo recto, el Dieſtro en A.N. y el adverſario en B.M. aviendo entre los dos centros de los brazos, y de los pies derechos ochos pies de diſtancia, la qual diſtancia divida por medio en C. ſe conſidera vna linea recta C.D.E. perpendicular (que concurrirà con la linea M.N. que ſe conſidera paſſa por los centros de los braços de los dos combatientes) y paſſarà por medio de la Eſpada del Dieſtro, para que eſtè afirmado perfectamente en Angulo recto en ſu plano Vertical primero, ſi ſe conſidera ſobre la linea C.D. como ſe midia metro, deſcrito vn circulo deſuerte que ſea perpendicular al Orizonte, en medio de los dos combatientes, como repreſenta la figura, y perpendicular al plano vertical primero, ſerà de grande vſo para regular el movimiento de las Eſpadas de ambos combatientes; porque ſi ſe mueve la Eſpada del Dieſtro deſde el centro D. à qualquiera de los ocho rumbos ſeñalados, irà formando no ſolo los tres Angulos Recto, Obtuſo, y Agudo, ſino los que llaman movimeintos de la Eſpada, aſsi ſimples, como mixtos, y las rectitudines ſimples, y mixtas, todo en eſta manera.

Let the Circle E.F.G.H. &c. be placed perpendicularly on the lower plane A.C.B. and let it have its semidiameter of five feet. which is the height we suppose a man of perfect stature has from the center of the right foot to the center of the right arm; so that, being affirmed on a Right Angle, and at a Right Angle with his arm, and Sword parallel to the Horizon, it passes through the center of this circle, and divides it in half; and for better clarity, we will accompany this demonstration, which is in plan view, with another that is in perspective, and the two combatants affirmed in their means of proportion in Angle, and on Right Angle, the Fencer in A.N. and the adversary in B.M. having between the two centers of the arms, and of the right feet eight feet of distance, which distance is divided in the middle at C. a straight line C.D.E. is considered perpendicular (which will coincide with the line M.N. which is considered passing through the centers of the arms of the two combatants) and will pass through the middle of the Sword of the Fencer, so that it is perfectly affirmed at Right Angle in its first Vertical plane, if it is considered on the line C.D. as a measure, described a circle so that it is perpendicular to the Horizon, in the middle of the two combatants, as represented by the figure, and perpendicular to the first vertical plane, it will be of great use to regulate the movement of the Swords of both combatants; because if the Sword of the Fencer moves from the center D. to any of the eight marked courses, it will form not only the three Right, Obtuse, and Acute Angles, but also those called movements of the Sword, both simple and mixed, and the simple and mixed straightnesses, all in this way.

Demonstracion de como se consideran los Angulos en eſta figura, por medio de vna Pyramide que formarà con ſu braço, y Eſpada.

Demonstration of How Angles are Considered in This Figure, Through a Pyramid Formed with the Arm and Sword

Los Angulos ſe conſideran en la comun ſeccion de el plano Vertical primero, y de la ſuperficie, y axis de vna Pyramide, que ſe vè formada con las lineas N.E. y N.C. cuya baſa es el circulo, y el vertice el punto N.

The angles are considered in the common section of the first vertical plane, and of the surface and axis of a Pyramid, which is formed with the lines N.E. and N.C. whose base is the circle, and the vertex the point N.

Porque eſtando el Dieſtro afirmado ſobre Angulo recto, y con ſu brazo, y eſpada en el axis de eſte circulo, y Pyramide N.D. diremos que eſtà afirmado en Angulo recto, que ſe cauſa en el concurſo de la D.N. con la vertical N.A.

Because being the Fencer affirmed on a right angle, and with his arm and sword on the axis of this circle and Pyramid N.D., we will say that he is affirmed in a right angle, which is caused in the confluence of D.N. with the vertical N.A.

Eſtando afirmado con ſu brazo, y Eſpada en la parte ſuperior N.e. cauſarà el Angulo obtuſo A.N.E mayor que el recto.

Being affirmed with his arm and sword in the upper part N.E., it will cause the obtuse angle A.N.E greater than the right angle.

Eſtando afirmado en la parte inferior N.C. cauſarà el Angulo agudo A.N.C. menor que el recto, como ſe vè en la figura. Y todos eſtos tres Angulos eſtan en el Plano vertical primero C.D.E.

Being affirmed in the lower part N.C., it will cause the acute angle A.N.C. less than the right angle, as seen in the figure. And all these three angles are in the first vertical plane C.D.E.

Como se consideran los movimientos ſimples en eſte circulo, y Pyramide mayor.

How Simple Movements are Considered in This Circle and Greater Pyramid

Por medio de las lineas, ò parte en que ſe dividiò el circulo, y de los Angulos, que quedan referidos, ſe viene en conocimiento de las eſpecies de movimientos ſimples, y mixtos, que ſe pueden hazer; porque ſi deſde el axis D. ſube ſu brazo, y Eſpada por el plano ſertical primario, que ſe repreſenta con la D.E. el movimiento que ſe haze ſe llama violento; y ſi baxare deſde el axis, y centro D. por el miſmo plano vertical primario por la linea D.C. el movimiento ſerà natural.

Through the lines, or parts in which the circle was divided, and from the angles that have been mentioned, one comes to understand the types of simple and mixed movements that can be made. Because if from the axis D. the arm and sword rise through the primary vertical plane, which is represented with D.E., the movement that is made is called violent; and if it descends from the axis and center D. through the same primary vertical plane along the line D.C., the movement will be natural.

El movimiento extraño ſe haze retirando la Eſpada por el axis N.D. y el accidental yendo adelante por el miſmo axis.

The strange movement is made by retracting the sword through the axis N.D., and the accidental movement is made by going forward through the same axis.

El movimiento que ſe hiziere por la linea D.G. ſerà paralelo al Orizonte, àzia ſu meno derecha, y ſe llama remiſſo deſde D. haſta G. y el movimiento que ſe hizier deſde la circunferencia, y punto G. por el miſmo plano orizontal ſuperior, haſta concurrir en el centro, y axis D. ſe llama de reduccion.

The movement made along the line D.G. will be parallel to the Horizon, towards the right hand, and is called remiss from D. to G., and the movement made from the circumference and point G. through the same upper horizontal plane, until converging in the center and axis D., is called reduction.

El movimiento que hiziere el Dieſtro à ſu mano izquierda por la linea D.K. tambien ſe llama remiſſo deſde el centro à la circunferencia, y el que ſe haze deſde la circunferencia, y punto K. haſta el centro D. ſe llama de reduccion.

The movement that the Fencer makes to his left hand through the line D.K. is also called remiss from the center to the circumference, and the one made from the circumference and point K. to the center D. is called reduction.

Con que ſe entenderà por eſta explicacion, como en eſta figura ſe hallan las ſeis eſpecies de movimientos ſimples, y aora reſta de oìr, como tambien comprehende los movimientos mixtos.

With this explanation, it will be understood how in this figure the six types of simple movements are found, and now it remains to be heard how it also comprehends mixed movements.

Forma en que se hallan en esta figura las quatro principales eſpecies de movimientos mixtos, por cada vno de los planos obliquos

How the Four Main Types of Mixed Movements are Found in This Figure, for Each of the Oblique Planes

Tambien en la diviſiond de eſte circulo imaginamos dos planos obliquos por los quatro rumbos intermedios de los quatro movimientos ſimples, violento, natural, remiſſo, y de reduccion, que es por donde ſe regulan los movimeintos mixtos.

In the division of this circle, we also imagine two oblique planes through the four intermediate directions of the four simple movements: violent, natural, remiss, and reduction. It is through these that the mixed movements are regulated.

El primero por el lado derecho tiene ſu principo en la ſuperficie deſde la linea F. haſta la linea I

The first one on the right side has its beginning on the surface from line F. to line I.

Por el lado izquierdo tiene ſu principio en la ſuperficie, y punto L. haſta el punto H.

On the left side, it begins on the surface, and point L. to point H.

Deſuerte, que moviendo el Dieſtro ſu brazo, y Eſpada deſde el axis N.D. en que ſe conſidera el Angulo recto, haſta la linea F. eſte movimiento ſe llamarà mixto de remiſſo, y violento à ſu lado derecho; y ſi por el miſmo plano moviere la Eſpada deſde la circunferencia, y punto F. haſta el axis D. y Angulo recto, ſerà eſte movimiento mixto de natural, y de reduccion.

Thus, when the Fencer moves his arm and sword from the axis N.D., where the right angle is considered, to line F., this movement will be called a mixed movement of remiss and violent to his right side; and if through the same plane he moves the sword from the circumference and point F. to the axis D. and right angle, this movement will be a mixed movement of natural and reduction.

Si deſde el axis N.D. hiziere movimiento con ſu Eſpada por el miſmo plano, y linea D.I. eſte movimiento ſerà mixto de remiſſo, y natural à ſu lado izquierdo.

If from the axis N.D. he makes a movement with his sword through the same plane and line D.I., this movement will be a mixed movement of remiss and natural to his left side.

Si deſde el punto I. movier el Dieſtro ſu Eſpada por el miſmo plano haſta el axis, y centro D. ſerà eſte movimiento mixto de violento, y reduccion.

If from point I., the Fencer moves his sword through the same plane to the axis and center D., this movement will be a mixed movement of violent and reduction.

Si deſde el axis N.D. moviere ſu Eſpada por el lado obliquo del lado izquierdo por la linea D.L eſte movimiento ſerà mixto de violento, y remiſſo à ſu parte izquierda.

If from the axis N.D. he moves his sword through the oblique side on the left through line D.L., this movement will be a mixed movement of violent and remiss on his left side.

Si deſde el axis N.D. hizere movimeinto por el miſmo plano por la linea D.H. deſde el centro à la circunferencia, eſte movimiento ſe llamarà mixto de remiſſo, y natural à ſu lado derecho.

If from the axis N.D. he makes a movement through the same plane along line D.H. from the center to the circumference, this movement will be called a mixed movement of remiss and natural to his right side.

Si por la miſma linea, y plano moviere la Eſpada deſde la circunferencia, y punto H. haſta el axis, y centro D. ſerà eſte movimiento mixto de violento, y de reduccion.

If through the same line and plane he moves the sword from the circumference and point H. to the axis and center D., this movement will be a mixed movement of violent and reduction.

Con eſto quedan explicadas tambien las eſpecies de movimientos mixtos, y con eſta miſma doctrina podrà el Dieſtro regular los muchos que puede hazer de las miſmas eſpecies deſde el axis à la ſuperſicie de cada vno de los quatro quadrantes que hemos conſiderado, y deſde las miſmas ſuperficies de ellos haſta el axis; todo ello muy importante para tener conocimiento el Dieſtro de las tretas que hizere, y de las de ſu contrario, que formare por eſtos planos obliquos: advirtiendo, que las que ſe formaren deſde el plano ſuperior, y Angulo obtuſo, no ha de paſſar la Eſpada del axis del Dieſtro, y del de ſu contrario, al plano inferior, y Angulo agudo, para ſu mayor perfeccion, y ſeguirdad.

With this, the types of mixed movements are also explained, and with the same doctrine, the Fencer can regulate the many movements he can make of the same types from the axis to the surface of each of the four quadrants we have considered, and from the same surfaces of them to the axis; all of this is very important for the Fencer to have knowledge of the tricks he performs, and those of his opponent, which are formed by these oblique planes: noting that those formed from the upper plane, and obtuse angle, should not pass the sword from the axis of the Fencer, and from that of his opponent, to the lower plane, and acute angle, for greater perfection and safety.

Los movimientos que ſe hizieren deſde el axis de eſta Pyramide à la ſuperficie de ella, ſon diſpoſitivos; y los que ſe hizieren deſde la ſuperficie al axis, ſon executivos: con vna diferencia, que los que ſe hizieren deſde la ſueprficie ſuperior, y Angulo obtuſo al axis, ſeràn mas ſeguros, y mas ſuertes las execuciones.

The movements made from the axis of this pyramid to its surface are preparatory; and those made from the surface to the axis are executive: with one difference, that those made from the upper surface, and obtuse angle to the axis, will be more secure, and the executions stronger.

Los movimientos que ſe hizieren deſde la parte inferior, y juriſdiccion del Angulo agudo, deſde la ſuperficie de eſta figura, haſta el axis, para ofender en el brazo, ſeràn de poco efecto; y las tretas menos ſeguras, que las que ſe executaren por la parte ſuperior.

The movements made from the lower part, and jurisdiction of the acute angle, from the surface of this figure to the axis, to attack the arm, will be of little effect; and the tricks less secure than those executed from the upper part.

Advertencias que se hazen cerca de eſtos movimientos mixtos, reduciendolos à mas vniverſalidad

Cautions regarding these mixed movements, generalizing them further

Advierteſe lo primero, que aunque hemos conſiderado los movimientos deſde el Angulo recto, como haſta aora ſe ha hecho, conviene para la vniverſalidad de eſta ſciencia, y ſu verdadera inteligencia que ſe imagina, que eſtos movimeintos tomen ſu principio por el plano vertical primero, que paſſa por el Angulo recto, y axis de eſta Pyramide, y no ſolamente deſde el axis della, porque ay lances en qu eſe podrà herir, ſin dependencia del Angulo recto, como ſe dirà en ſu lugar; y aſsi todas las vezes que la punta de la Eſpada del Dieſtro ſe apartare de eſte plano à vna, y à otra parte, y ſe moivere por qualquiera plano paralelo al Orizonte, harà movimiento remiſſo; y ſi ſe reduxere por el miſmo plano al vertical primario, ſerà movimiento de reduccion.

Firstly, it is noted that although we have considered movements from the right angle, as has been done so far, for the universality of this science and its true understanding, it should be imagined that these movements take their beginning through the first vertical plane, which passes through the right angle and axis of this pyramid, and not only from the axis of it, because there are situations in which one can strike without depending on the right angle, as will be said in its place; thus, whenever the tip of the Fencer’s sword moves away from this plane to one side or another, and moves through any plane parallel to the horizon, it will make a remiss movement; and if it is reduced by the same plane to the primary vertical, it will be a reduction movement.

Todas las vezes que la punta de la Eſpada ſe apartare de eſte plano vertical primario à qualquiera parte ſuperior por vna, y otra parte por plano obliquo, ſerà el movimiento que ſe hiziere mixto de remiſſo, y de violento.

Every time the tip of the sword moves away from this primary vertical plane to any upper side, to one side or the other through an oblique plane, the movement made will be a mixed movement of remiss and violent.

Todas las vezes que por vna, y otra parte ſe reduxere la Eſpada por plano obliquo de qualquiera parte ſuperior à eſte plano vertical, el movimiento que ſe hizere ſerà mixto de natural, y reduccion.

Every time the sword is reduced on one side or another through an oblique plane from any upper part to this vertical plane, the movement made will be a mixed movement of natural and reduction.

Si deſde qualquiera parte ſuperior del plano ſertical primario baxare la Eſpada por vna, y otra parte por plano obliquo à la parte inferior, ſerà eſte movimiento mixto de natural, y remiſſo.

If from any upper part of the primary vertical plane the sword descends on one side or another through an oblique plane to the lower part, this movement will be a mixed movement of natural and remiss.

Si deſde qualquiera parte inferior, fuera del plano primario, ſe moviere tambien la Eſpada por vna, y otra parte por plano obliquo, à qualquiera parte ſuperior à eſte plano Vertical primario, ſerà eſte movimiento mixto de violento, y de reduccion.

If from any lower part, outside the primary plane, the sword also moves on one side or another through an oblique plane, to any upper part to this primary vertical plane, this movement will be a mixed movement of violent and reduction.

Como se consideran en esta figura las ſeis rectitudines ſimples, en que ſe puede afirmar el hombre, como haſta aora ſe han imaginado.

How the six simple straightnesses are considered in this figure, in which a man can assert himself, as has been imagined so far.

Poniendo el Dieſtro ſu Eſpada en la linea N.E eſtarà en la rectitud alta, y poniendola en la linea N.C. eſtarà en la rectitud baxa, y poniendola en la linea G. eſtarà en la rectitud del lado derecho, y eſtando la linea K. eſtarà en la rectitud del lado izquierdo, y eſtando en la linea D. eſtarà en la rectitud de adelante, y retirando el brazo, y Eſpada eſtarà en al rectitud de atràs.

By placing his sword on the line N.E, the Fencer will be in the high straightness, and by placing it on the line N.C, he will be in the low straightness, and by placing it on the line G, he will be in the straightness of the right side, and being on the line K, he will be in the straightness of the left side, and being on the line D, he will be in the straightness of the front, and by retracting the arm and sword, he will be in the straightness of the back.

Pero conſiderandoſe que eſtas ſeis rectitudines ſimples no comprehenden la vniverſalidad del Arte, ni todas la poſsibilidad del hombre en afirmarſe, imaginamos otras quatro eſpecies de rectitudines mixtas.

However, considering that these six simple straightnesses do not encompass the universality of the Art, nor all the possibilities of a man in asserting himself, we imagine four other species of mixed straightnesses.

Como se consideran las rectitudines mixtas en eſta figura.

How mixed straightnesses are considered in this figure.

Si el Dieſtro eſtuviere afirmado con ſu brazo, y Eſpada en la linea F. eſtarà en al rectitud mixta de alta y remiſſa, à ſu lado derecho.

If the Fencer is affirmed with his arm and sword on the line F, he will be in the mixed straightness of high and remiss, on his right side.

Si eſtuviere afirmado en la linea I. eſtarà en la rectitud mixta de baxa remiſſa, à ſu lado izquierdo.

If he is affirmed on the line I, he will be in the mixed straightness of low and remiss, on his left side.

Si eſtuviere afirmado en la linea L. eſtarà en la rectitud mixta alta y remiſſa, à ſu lado izquierdo.

If he is affirmed on the line L, he will be in the mixed straightness of high and remiss, on his left side.

Si eſtuviere afirmado en la linea H. eſtarà en la rectitud mixta de baxa, y remiſſa, à ſu lado derecho.

If he is affirmed on the line H, he will be in the mixed straightness of low and remiss, on his right side.

Como se consideran estas rectitudes mixta mas vniverſalmente

How these mixed straightnesses are considered more universally

Todas las vezes que el Dieſtro apartare ſu Eſpada del plano Vertical primario por vna y otra parte, à la ſuperior, y juriſdiccion del Angulo obtuſo por qualquiera plano obliquo, ſeràn eſtas rectitudes mixta de altas y remiſſas.

Every time the Fencer moves his sword away from the primary vertical plane on both sides, to the upper part and jurisdiction of the obtuse angle, through any oblique plane, these will be mixed straightnesses of high and remiss.

Todas las vezes que apartare ſu Eſpada del miſmo plano ſertical primario por vna y otra parte, à la inferior, y juriſdiccion del Angulo agudo, tambien por qualquiera plano obliquo, ſeràn eſtas rectitudes mixtas de baxas y remiſſas.

Every time he moves his sword away from the same primary vertical plane on both sides, to the lower part and jurisdiction of the acute angle, also through any oblique plane, these will be mixed straightnesses of low and remiss.
