(p.110/#2) (Coda Lunga Larga with the Left Foot Forward vs. Sword in Presence) Finding your enemy with the sword in presence, you will be placed in coda lunga larga with the left foot forward; and there you will throw a rising falso to his sword hand that does not go past guardia di faccia, and then you will subsequently pass the right foot forward pushing a thrust to his chest, and as he goes to defend himself from this thrust, you will allow sword to turn as though throwing a molinetto, throwing a roverso to his sword hand and to his front leg that will descend into coda lunga larga; and if he think to attack you here, you will, with all possible speed, strike his sword with a falso traversato that goes to a manner of guardia sopra braccio; and here if you were not able to hit him with the aforementioned falso, and he responds with some attack, you will defend yourself from the incoming attack with a falso that does not pass guardia di faccia, giving him then a thrust to the face, or to the chest as you prefer; setting yourself then in porta di ferro stretta.
