(p.108/#1) (Coda Lunga Larga with the Left Foot Forward vs. Sword in Presence) Finding your enemy in which guard he wants so long as he has the sword in presence, you will be set in coda lunga larga with the left foot forward; there you will throw a rising falso to the sword hand with great malice (ie, forcefully), to the end that the enemy cannot beat your sword to the ground; and then you will immediately pass the right foot forward allowing the sword to turn and will make a show of preparing another rising falso to the sword hand, and as he goes to defend himself from this falso in some way, you will presently turn the sword as though throwing a molinetto, throwing at him an overhand imbrocatta to the chest or to the sword arm that descends into porta di ferro stretta.
