(p.85#4) (Coda Lunga Stretta with the Left Foot Forward vs. Coda Lunga Stretta or Porta di Ferro Stretta) If your enemy is set in coda lunga stretta or porta di ferro stretta with his right foot forward, you will be placed in coda lunga stretta with your left foot forward; and there I want you to keep your sword to the outside of the enemy's sword to his left side; and quickly you will pass the right foot forward making a sfalsata of your sword under his without doing a turn of the hand, pushing a punta ferma to the chest; and if he defends the aforementioned thrust with the true edge of his sword making a half turn of the hand, and in the same motion withdrawing his right foot to turn a tramazzone onto your head; you will be wary that when he makes to strike you with said tramazzone, you will make a mezzo mandritto to his sword arm, or to his sword hand, not allowing your sword to go past porta di ferro alta.
