(p.62/#2) (Coda Lunga Stretta vs. Coda Lunga Stretta) If your enemy is set in coda lunga stretta with the right foot forward, you will be in the same guard opposite him; there you will withdraw the right foot throwing a mezzo mandritto to his sword; and subsequently you will turn a mezzo roverso to his sword hand that stops in coda lunga stretta; and there, with noble skill, you will pass the right foot forward, feinting a thrust to his chest while making a half turn of the hand; he will make some move to defend himself from this thrust, that is to say that he will take the point of his sword towards your right side and when he does you will make a sfalsata of your sword under his, making a half turn of the hand in the same tempo, and you will pass the left foot forward pushing a thrust to his chest the sword, will find itself in coda lunga alta; and if he should defend himself from this thrust to the chest in some way, you will subsequently pass the right foot forward beating the enemy's sword with the true edge of yours somewhat, knocking it towards his left side, and with all possible haste you will throw an overhand imbrocatta to his chest that descends into porta di ferro larga.
