(p.59/#2) (Coda Lunga Stretta with the Left Foot Forward vs. Coda Lunga Stretta) If your enemy is set in coda lunga stretta with the the right foot forward, you will be set in coda lunga stretta with the left foot forward; and so you will make feint a stocatta trivillata; and as he goes to defend himself you will not allow his sword to touch yours in any way, but you will quickly make a sfalsata of your sword under his, passing presently with the right foot forward, driving the the true edge of your sword onto that of the enemy, pressing his sword to the ground; and in this tempo you will push a thrust into his chest from behind his sword; and if he should save himself from this thrust you with admirable quickness will withdraw your right foot back giving him a thrust to the sword hand, setting yourself then in coda lunga stretta with the left foot forward.
