(p.60/#3) (Porta di Ferro Larga as Patiente) Finding your adversary in what placement he wants, you will be opposite him in porta di ferro larga with the right foot forward; stay wary that if throws some attack to wound your upper parts you will defend yourself with a falso that does not pass guardia di faccia; and subsequently you will step somewhat forward with the right foot, extending a thrust to his face and stopping in guardia di faccia; subsequently without demure, you will pass the left foot forward, making a half turn of the hand and pushing a violent overhand imbrocatta to the face or to the chest; the left leg will follow somewhat behind the right and the sword will find itself in coda lunga alta with the arm extended as far forwards to the enemy as possible; and so for your defense you will pass back the left foot making in that moment a half turn of the hand, setting yourself in porta di ferro stretta.
