(p.130/#3) (Coda Lunga Stretta vs. Sword in Presence) If your enemy were to have his sword in presence, you will place yourself into coda lunga stretta with the right foot forward; and there you will throw an imbrocatta to his sword hand that ends in porta di ferro larga, and in that tempo you will pull your left foot near the right; and then you will immediately pass the right foot forward throwing a roverso traversato to his sword hand and to his front leg that ends in coda lunga larga; and if the enemy wants to strike you here, then you will throw a rising falso to his sword hand that goes to a manner of guardia sopra braccio; and if he intends to respond with some attack, you will defend yourself with the true edge of the sword as if you were throwing a roverso to his sword that ends in guardia di lioncorno, and in this tempo you will gather the left foot near the right; and subsequently you will step forward with the right foot throwing an overhand imbrocatta to his face or to his sword arm that then ends in porta di ferro larga; and then if he throws some attack, you will defend yourself from the incoming attack with a falso that does not pass guardia di faccia, and in that tempo you will pull the left foot near the right; and you will immediately pass the right foot forward throwing a mandritto to his chest and to his sword arm that ends in porta di ferro larga.
