(p.50/#2) (Coda Lunga Stretta with the Left Foot Forward; as Patiente) If you are set in coda lunga stretta with the left foot forward; and he throws a mandritto or stoccata or imbrocatta to strike your upper parts, you will pass a great step with your right foot towards his left side and in this tempo you will make a half-turn of the hand driving the true edge of your sword into your enemy's attack; and then behind his sword you will forcefully push a thrust to the chest and you will turn the body well behind your sword such that the right shoulder will be pointed at your enemy, the sword going into guardia di intrare and the left foot following faithfully behind the right; and then you will retire back the right foot setting yourself gallantly in coda lunga stretta with the left foot forward.
