(p.60/#2) (Coda Lunga Stretta as Patiente) If you are set in coda lunga stretta with the right foot forward and your adversary throws a mandritto at you, you will defend yourself with a half turn of the hand, turning the true edge of your sword into porta di ferro alta, while pulling the left foot near the right; and so presently you will step forward with the right foot extending a thrust to his face, stopping with the arm well-extended, as far forward as you are able; and if he should think to wound you a second time to the head or the face with either a mandritto or a thrust, you will defend yourself by just using the true edge of your sword, pushing his attack aside towards his right side and with all possible speed you will step with the right foot somewhat forward driving a violent thrust to his face or to his chest setting yourself then for your security in porta di ferro stretta; or if this does not please you to give him a thrust then you will be able to throw a roverso traversato to his face or to his chest that stops in coda lunga stretta.
