(p.147/#2) (Coda Lunga Stretta as Patiente) If you are set in coda lunga stretta with the right foot forward against your enemy; and he should throw a mandritto, or fendente, or stoccata, or imbrocatta to your face, you will step four fingers or a hand's breadth with your right foot towards his left, while making a half turn of the hand opposing his attack with the true edge of your sword; and behind his sword you will push a thrust to the chest, or to the face; note that in making this attack, you must make every effort crushing his sword; and you must also turn your body, such that your shoulder will point directly at your enemy, and your sword will go into guardia di intrare; then you will withdraw your right foot back, setting yourself in coda lunga stretta with the left foot forward.
