Percioche non havendo ella forza da poter lui, che giuso havea à venire col capo della corda in mano sostentare, egli pian piano col contrapeso del corpo di lei calandosi, come fusse in terra, col capo della corda, con che egli legato s'havea, lei pian piano havrebbe giuso mandata.

He did this because she did not have the strength to be able to support him if she just held the end of the rope in her hands. With her body as a counterweight he would slowly lower himself. And as soon as he had reached the ground, he would slowly send her down with the same end of the rope to which he had tied himself.
