(p.202/#1) (Sword and Armored Gauntlet) (Counter to (play #553)) Your counter will be that when the enemy feints the thrust, you will make a show of defending it with your true edge; and when he passes to make his powerful thrust with both hands, you will similarly take your sword with the gauntlet hand {presumably also on the forte} pushing his thrust out towards your right side, and so this done you will be able to push a thrust to his face.
