----A Taking away against a Genital thrust
Item: comport yourself thus with this onset. When you come before the man, stand with your right foot forward. If he stands then thus against you with his right foot forward, so stab him at his face [1].


If he stabs thus above at you so take that of his away with your left hand behind his right elbow, immediately stab him at his genitals [2].


If he stabs at you thus below, so quickly snatch with your left hand his right and take that away therewith. Immediately set your right leg inwardly before his right and tug your dagger immediately quickly and stab him doubly at his face [3].


If he stabs thus above at you, so take that of his away from the shears with your left arm. Immediately set your dagger to him at his neck. Strike him below at his heels and throw him backwards therewith [4].
