(p.120/#4) (Coda Lunga Stretta vs. Any) Your enemy being in any guard he wants, you will be set in coda lunga stretta with the right foot forward; and there you will pass the left foot traversing across his right side, throwing a mandritto to his sword hand and to his sword that ends in cinghiara porta di ferro larga; and if the enemy responds with some attack you will withdraw the left foot throwing a roverso to his sword hand that ends in coda lunga larga; but then, you will immediately lift your sword into coda lunga stretta, and subsequently you will pull the left foot near the right, giving him a mezzo mandritto to the sword hand and to his sword that does not go past porta di ferro stretta; and subsequently you will pass the right foot forward throwing a roverso to his face, or to the sword arm that ends in coda lunga larga; or if you prefer, instead of the roverso you may quickly push a thrust to his chest with great speed; however, if you did choose to throw the roverso, and you now find yourself in coda lunga larga, and should the enemy intend to attack you here in some way, you will retire the right foot back throwing a mandritto to his sword hand that ends in cinghiara porta di ferro larga; stay mindful, that should he now attack you here, you will pass the right foot forward defending yourself from the incoming attack with a falso that does not pass guardia di faccia, giving him presently a mandritto to the face and to the sword arm that then descends into porta di ferro larga.
