Taken from Meyer's 1570 KdF, Rappier, A Good Sequence from Hanging

I neglected the initial leap advance with the right foot, and I didn't return to Ox, but close enough for our purposes today.

Rebecca Garber's Translation:
"When you have arrived in the Onset in the High Guard of the right Ox, and perceive that a fencer thrusts powerfully at you: Step, with a leap out to the side and well toward their left, away from their in-coming thrust, and turn your hanging blade out toward your left (as previously). As [you] take [their rapier] outward, step with your left foot farther behind your right foot toward them, following swiftly with your right in response to their thrust, and turning your back to them. Thrust under your right arm with a Reversed Thrust, behind you and toward their stomach. Subsequently, turn your face quickly back toward them and cut with extended weapon in a wheel straight down from above through their face with a retreating step of your right foot. Lift your hilt again and change your feet at the same time, so that the right stands in front again."
