Of Positions that shift or change from one place to another.
Positions
may also change in
springing
from one place to another, as in
springing
forwards, backwards, or sideways. This is explain’d by two Lines of Communication, that go from the
Position
on which the
springing Marks
are plac’d, to that where there are none: Which Lines denote the Extension of the
Spring
, and of which side it must fall.
| To spring forwards, both feet join’d. | The same backwards. | To spring forwards, separating the Feet. |
| The same backwards. | To spring forwards, and fall inclosed. | The same backwards |
| To spring sideways to the Right, join’d. | The same to the Left. | To spring sideways to the Right, cross’d. |
| The same to the Left. | To spring sideways cross’d to the right, the foremost Foot falling behind. | The same to the Left |
Positions may also change in springing, by two Steps being ty’d together at the Heads; which shews, that they must move both at the same time.

The same backwards.
