(p.120/#2) (Porta di Ferro Larga as Patiente) If you are set in guardia porta di ferro larga with the right foot forward against your enemy and he is pushing a thrust to your face with this left foot forward to make you leave your guard, so that he may subsequently turn a mandritto fendente to your face, while passing forward with his right foot, then your counter to his attack will be as follows: as he thrusts, you will defend with a falso that goes somewhat high into guardia di faccia; and as he passes to throw the mandritto to your face, you will withdraw the right foot back, giving him a mandritto to his sword hand that ends in cinghiara porta di ferro larga; and if he responds here with some attack, you will pass the right foot forward defending against the incoming attack with a falso that does not go past guardia di faccia, and subsequently you will throw a mandritto to his face and to his sword arm that descends into porta di ferro larga or into porta di ferro stretta, as you will prefer.
