Text

"If you wish to go to the top of a building you must go up step by step; otherwise it will be impossible that you should reach the top. Thus I say to you, whom nature prompts to pursue this art, if you wish to have a sound knowledge of the forms of defense begin with the details of them, and do not go on to the second till you have the first well fixed in memory and in practice. And if you do otherwise you will throw away your time, or certainly greatly prolong your studies.
Having shown himself thus adept at walking up stairs, we are inclined to elevate Lord Ffernfael Cymro to the rank and estate of Provost of the Academie of Defense, granting him arms done this 18th day of January in Anno Societatis LIV by our hand, Cuan MacDaige and Signy Heri, King and Queen of Atlantia."
