(p.125/#4) (Coda Lunga Stretta vs. Coda Lunga Stretta) If your enemy is set in coda lunga stretta with the right foot forward and are you set in the same guard; there you will pass the left foot traversing towards his right side throwing a mandritto to his sword hand that ends in cinghiara porta di ferro larga; and if he responds with some attack, you will withdraw left foot back throwing a roverso to his sword hand that ends in coda lunga larga; and if he follows you with some attack, you will withdraw the right foot back throwing an imbrocatta to his sword hand that descends into cinghiara porta di ferro larga; and there, if he throws some attack, you will pass the right foot forward, lifting a falso to guardia alta, parrying his blow; and then you will immediately feint a rising falso in the manner of a montante, but will then quickly make a sfalsata of your sword under his, beating his sword with your true edge, and passing the left foot somewhat forward in this tempo throwing an imbrocatta to his face, that descends into cinghiara porta di ferro larga; and then you will pass the right foot forward lifting a rising falso to your enemy's sword that will not go past guardia di faccia beating his sword towards his left side; and then you will immediately feint a thrust to his sword hand, but will, with all possible speed, make a fendente onto his front foot; and then for your security, you will turn a mezzo mandritto to his sword hand setting yourself then with the sword in porta di ferro stretta.
