(p.141/#1) (Guardia Alta vs. Sword in Presence) If you find your enemy with the sword in presence and you are set in guardia alta with the right foot forward; there you will feint a mandritto fendente to the head, inducing him to defend in guardia di testa, and you will throw the mandritto fendente with such great force that it knocks his sword somewhat towards the ground; thence you will quickly push a thrust to his face, stepping somewhat forward with the right foot; if he should defend against this thrust, you will presently be able to turn a mezzo mandritto across his left temple, stopping the sword in porta di ferro alta, or you will be able to wound his sword hand with the same mezzo mandritto.
