(p.102/#1) (Counter to #166) The counter of this last attack is that having passed with your left foot forward pushing the above-mentioned thrust to his chest, you will stay alert that if the enemy defends in the manner as said above (with the sword hand high, the tip to the ground, the true edge towards the inside line), and that he will withdraw the right foot back turning a tramazzone to your head; in this tempo you will turn a mezzo mandritto across his sword hand or to his sword arm; of if you rather, instead of the mandritto, pass your right foot towards his left side making a half turn of the hand and push a thrust to the face, your left leg will follow faithfully behind the right your sword ending in guardia d'intrare; also when he turns the tramazzone you will also be able to give him a mezzo roverso to the wrist of his sword hand, then retire the left foot back setting yourself in porta di ferro stretta.
