The Movements of the Arms are to be perform’d two ways, upwards or downwards; upwards from the Position of the Arm below, or downwards from the Position above.
The Motion of the Arm upwards, is when the Arm, which is open or extended, closes (in approaching) to the Body ascending, and the Motion of the Arm downwards, is when the Arm, which is clos’d, opens or extends it self descending.
Examples of the Movements of the Arms.
| The Motion of the Wrist upwards. | The Motion of the Elbow upwards. | The Motion of the whole Arm upwards. | The Motion of the Wrist downwards. | The motion of the Elbow downwards. | The Motion of the whole Arm downwards. |
| The Wrist moving round upwards. | The Elbow moving round upwards. | The whole Arm moving round upwards. | The Wrist moving round downwards. | The Elbow moving round downwards. | The whole Arm moving round downwards. |
| The Wrist moving round downwards. | The Elbow moving round downwards. | The whole Arm moving round downwards. | Double Movement of the Wrist upwards and downwards. | Double Movement of the Elbow upwards and downwards. | Double Movement of the whole Arm upwards and downwards. |
The Arms may either move both together, or one after the other; you will know when the Arms are to move together, by a Line or Tie drawn from the one to the other; and when there is no Tie, they are then to move one after the other.
The Arms may either move alike with the same Movement, as when both Arms either open or extend themselves together, or close, or approach each other at the same time.
Or they may move contrary one to the other, when the one opens, and the other closes.
| Both Arms moving together with the same Motion. | Both Arms moving together with a contrary Movements. | Both Arms moving one after the other, first the right,
