(p.89#1) (Porta di Ferro Larga as Patiente) Finding your adversary in what guard pleases him, you will be in porta di ferro larga; completely exposed, so that the enemy is provoked to throw some attack at you, and will be mindful that in the tempo that he throws the attack, you will pass the left foot forward, defending with a falso that does not go past guardia di faccia; and presently you will pass with the right foot forward making a half turn of the hand, pushing an imbrocatta to his chest, to his sword arm, or to his hand; making subsequently a half turn of the hand throwing a mandritto down onto his sword hand and to the sword arm, that will end in porta di ferro larga; and if he responds with some attack you can defend comfortably with a falso against the incoming attack, this falso will not pass guardia di faccia and subsequently you will pass the right foot somewhat forward, throwing a mandritto to his face and to his sword arm that descends into porta di ferro larga.
