(p.110/#1) (Porta di Ferro Stretta or Coda Lunga Stretta vs. Porta di Ferro Stretta; as Patiente) If you are set in porta di ferro stretta or in coda lunga stretta with the right foot forward, you will be mindful that if he is set in porta di ferro stretta with the right foot forward; here he may feint a thrust to the left side of your chest, and as you go to defend yourself from this thrust, he may pass forward with his left foot, making a sfalsata of his sword, to then push a punta ferma to the right side of your chest; the counter to this is that, as he makes the feint, you will do nothing, but as he as makes the sfalsata, you will withdraw your sword under his, and when he comes at you with the punta ferma you will defend against this with the true edge of your sword beating his sword out towards his right side with a mezzo mandritto, making then a falso to his right temple, or a thrust to the chest; withdrawing then one or two steps back setting yourself in porta di ferro stretta or coda lunga stretta, as you will prefer.
