(p.135/#1) (Coda Lunga Larga with the Left Foot Forward vs. Sword in Presence) If your enemy has his sword in presence with the right foot forward, you will place yourself in coda lunga larga with the left foot forward having the sword in your right hand; and there you will feint a rising falso to his sword hand, but with shrewd skill you will take the sword with the left hand, stepping somewhat forward with the left foot and giving him a roverso over his sword to the face, or across the sword arm that will then descend into coda lunga larga; and then you will immediately throw a rising falso to his sword hand that goes in the manner of guardia sopra braccio; after that, for your security, you will withdraw the left foot back throwing a roverso to his sword hand that descends into coda lunga larga; and so (now) you will place the sword back into your right hand settling into coda lunga stretta.
