(p.59/#3) (Coda Lunga Stretta with the Left foot Forward as Patiente) Remaining as in the previous chapter in coda lunga stretta with the left foot forward against your enemy you will stay way aware that if you should throw a mandritto to strike your head you will be able to make such an action such, that if he throws the said mandritto halfway up your sword it will be necessary for you to treat it differently than if he was throwing the mandritto to your head; if he goes to throw the mandritto to your sword you will not allow him to find your sword with his but will yield and allow it to go by and will immediately drive a thrust to his flank; and if that mandritto goes towards your head you will be able to make a mezzo mandritto to the sword arm.
