(p.127/#3) (Coda Lunga Stretta with the Left Foot Forward vs. Porta di Ferro Larga) If your enemy is set in porta di ferro larga with his right foot forward; you will set yourself into coda lunga stretta with the left foot forward; and there you will be mindful that if he lifts a falso or a falso and roverso, or whatever he thinks, that you will, as he lifts the rising falso you will beat it to the ground with a mezzo mandritto and then you will immediately throw a rising falso to the face; or you may also instead of the instead of the falso, push a punta ferma to the chest. But throwing one after another without stopping, to pass subsequently with the right foot towards his left side turning a mandritto fendente to his head or to his sword arm as you want, and the left leg need to follow behind the right, and the sword needs to settle in porta di ferro stretta.
