For he caught one by the legs, another by the scrip, another by the pocket, another by the scarf, another by the band of the breeches, and the poor fellow that had hurt him with the bourdon, him he hooked to him by the codpiece, which snatch nevertheless did him a great deal of good, for it pierced unto him a pocky botch he had in the groin, which grievously tormented him ever since they were past Ancenis.
In this scene, the main character in the story, Gargantua is in a brawl. His use of words are lively and humorous which is very common to Rabelais's style. He mentions a "codpiece" which is a part of the armor that covers the crotch area. This shows, the unexpected and comedic scenarios that Rabelais used to get the point across.
