Mittlehut Device 1

You will learn of the Middle Guard later with the Dusack, whereas that will be done with one hand, here you shall place yourself in it with two hands. Then even if in the beginning I was not well disposed to set this here, I can indeed (since from nothing else can the Ward of the Roses be taught onward) otherwise not go forward, then mark when one comes ahead to you so that his sword is stretched out before him in the long point or else driving in direct displacement, then drive with your blade around in a circle from the middle guard right over around his, so that you come right back to the same middle guard with your blade, from there swing the weak forcefully out to him over his arm to his head, or as he then (just as you would would drive over his blade through the roses) meanwhile would fall from above down to your opening, then take his blade outward with the half edge, namely on the second time you come to be in the middle guard, then as quickly as he has not yet come to reach your opening, you come around just then with the Roses, with which you have enough time to come to the described out, after this you still take him outward, then let flow over in a curve in the air over your head (by which you mislead him) through a circle to the next opening.

Interpretation [DP Working notes]

Meister	Lerhling
Waiting in Langort, right leg forward	Waiting in Mittelhut, blade out to the side, beneath theirs (as if they've parried you) down to the side, left leg forward
	Bring the blade around beneath his all the way over the top back into a Mittlehut, but this time laying over the top of his blade.
	Cut over his arms straight to his face.

Alternatively, if he attacks halfway through

Before the Lehrling gets all the way around, cut a short zornhauw/slice to the face.	Parry on with the short edge as you come around
