(p.100/#4) (Coda Lunga Stretta with the Left Foot Forward vs. Sword in Presence): If your enemy is set with his right foot forward with the sword in presence you will be in coda lunga stretta with the left foot forward; and there you will feint a thrust to his right side and as he makes some movement to defend, you will subsequently pass the right foot forward, and in this tempo, make a sfalsata of your sword under his, pushing a thrust to his chest; but note that this thrust does not go to strike the enemy but only to bring your enemy to mezza spada with you, true edge to true edge, in a manner similar to guardia di intrare; and once you are joined with him thus, you will pass the left foot towards his right side, making a half turn of the hand pushing a thrust to his face, and in this tempo, you may also make a presa to his sword or to his sword arm; also, when you are in mezza spada with him, true edge to true edge, it will also be suitable to make a rising mezzo mandritto to the sword arm, and subsequently retire the right foot back making a half turn of the hand, setting yourself in coda lunga stretta, and then for your security you will retire your left foot back, pushing a thrust 40 and setting yourself in porta di ferro stretta.
