(p.116/#2) (Coda Lunga Larga with the Left Foot Forward vs. Any) Finding your enemy in any guard he wants, you will be placed in coda lunga larga with the left foot forward; and there you will pass the right foot somewhat forward, throwing a stocatta trivillata to his face or to his sword hand; then immediately passing the right foot forward, lifting the sword into guardia alta; and with all possible speed, you will throw a rising falso to his sword hand in the manner of a montante that will go to a manner of guardia di sopra braccio. And there if your enemy responds with some attack to your upper parts you will defend yourself by going with the sword into guardia di testa against the incoming attack; and you will presently step somewhat forward with the right foot, subsequently giving him a mandritto to the face, or to the front leg, or to the sword hand; and note this mandritto shall be thrown with the greatest fury of the wrist and settle itself thereafter in the manner of guardia sopra braccio.
