(p.57/#3) (Coda Lunga Stretta vs. Coda Lunga Stretta) If your adversary is set in coda lunga stretta with the right foot forward you will be in the same; and there you will pass the left foot, traversing towards his right side while throwing a mezzo mandritto to his sword hand that does not pass cinghiara porta di ferro stretta; and if he should think to wound you with some attack to your upper parts, then you will pass the right foot in a great step forwards somewhat towards his left side, and in that pass you will make a half turn of the hand defending against the enemy's attack with the true edge of your sword in the mode of guardia di testa; and then you will, with all your might, push a thrust into the left side of his face. If he does not throw another attack after your mezzo mandritto to his hand, you will still pass forward with the right foot driving your true edge onto that of your adversary pushing a thrust to his chest, your sword going to coda lunga stretta or coda lunga alta with the arm well-extended as far as you are able; and if here your enemy should step towards your left side throwing a mandritto to your head, you will allow the left leg to go behind the right, making in that tempo a half turn of the hand, defending yourself from the incoming attack with the true edge of your sword in guardia di intrare; but it will be necessary in this defense to press or to crush the sword of your enemy towards his right side, and to then jam a forceful thrust to his face and turn your body as far as possible to better strike him.
