(p.95/#3) (Sword in Presence vs. Porta di Ferro Larga or Porta di Ferro Stretta; as Patiente) If your enemy is set in porta di ferro larga or stretta, and you will have your right foot forward with the sword in presence; you will stay aware that if he wants to lift a rising falso to your sword to beat it and subsequently strike you with a mandritto to your face, you will smack the falso to the ground with the true edge of the your sword, and presently you will strike him with a mandritto to his face; or if you prefer you can pass your left foot forward after beating his falso to the ground and drive a thrust into his guts; then withdraw your left foot back setting yourself in porta di ferro stretta.
