(p.58/#2) (Porta di Ferro Larga vs. Sword in Presence) If your enemy is set with sword in presence with his right foot forward you will face him from porta di ferro larga; and there you will turn a roverso tondo to his face and over his sword making sure it does not pass coda lunga stretta; and subsequently you will pass the left foot somewhat towards his right side feinting a thrust into his right flank; and as he defends himself of the said thrust you will immediately will make a sfalsata of your sword under his, and in that tempo, you will pass the right foot towards his left while driving the true edge of your sword onto that of your adversary pushing it forcefully towards his right side or pressing it towards the ground; then with admirable quickness you will push, from behind his sword, a thrust to his flank, and the left foot needs to follow faithfully behind the right in that thrust, so that you will turn the body as much as possible the sword to find itself going in the fashion of guardia di intrare.
