Auslage in der zweiten Handposition aus dem Prima-Lager

Guard formed in the second hand position, from the Prima-Lager.

• “The Secunde is, when thou holdest thy Rapier in such a sort that the outside of thy hand looketh upwards, and the inside of thy hand towards the ground. This is likewise subdivided into a straight Secunde when thy point looketh straight forwards; into the hanging Secunde, when thy point looketh downewards towards the ground, and finally into themiddle Secunde, when thou holdest thy Rapier with a Secunde and a bowed arme, so that the point of thy Rapier looketh sheer out towards thy left side.” (Pallas Armata, 1639; 8). “The Secunde is used without [on the outside] over the right arme in a long thrust, and in a Passade, then likewise under the arme in a Passade without, and again within in a long thrust and in a Passade.” Id., at 10.
• “wenn sich aber die Hand [aus der Prima] ein wenig herumb und niedriger wendet / wird es Seconda geheissen.” (Hynitzsch, 1677, 6.)
• “e domandasi seconda guardia, per essere il primo moto, che può fare una mano di prima guardia nell’ volere mutar’ il sito … per la mutazione della mano e ancora mutato il debile, ilquale nella prima guardia era disopra, due in questa e di fuori…”—Sie wird aber Seconda geheißen / weil sie die erste Bewegung ist / so eine Hand machen can / wenn sie sich aus der Prima in einen anderen situ verwenden will … [Sie hat] wegen der Veränderung der Hand / ihre Schwäche verändert / welche in Prima oberhalb war / in dieser aber kömmet sie auswärts.” (Hynitzsch, 1677; 66/67).
