(p.111/#2) (Porta di Ferro Larga vs. Any; as Patiente) Finding yourself set in porta di ferro larga with the right foot forward against your enemy; you will be mindful that if he plans to attack your upper parts, you will immediately pass somewhat forward with the left foot, defending yourself from the incoming attack with the true edge of your sword in a manner of guardia di testa, such that the sword ends in coda lunga alta; and then you will immediately pass the right foot forward, feinting an imbrocatta to the chest, and as he goes to defend against it, you will subsequently withdraw the sword hand somewhat back, such that his sword does not touch yours at all; and then with all possible haste, you will throw a second imbrocatta, this time to his face or his sword arm, as you prefer, your sword falling then into porta di ferro larga; or if you do not wish to give him the aforesaid imbrocatta, then with all possible skill, you can give him a mezzo mandritto to the sword hand, setting yourself then with the sword in porta di ferro stretta.
