(p.158/#2) (Coda Lunga Stretta with the Left Foot Forward vs. Sword in Presence) If your enemy is set with the sword in presence with his right foot forward, you will be placed in coda lunga stretta with the left foot forward; and there you will push a thrust to his right side and pass subsequently with the right foot forwards, you will turn a mandritto to his left temple or to his sword, and note that this mandritto goes not to wound him, but only to bring you to mezza spada with your swords at true edge to edge, in the manner of guardia di intrare, and you must be mindful that when you come to mezza spada you will proceed in one of two ways: That you will pass with your left foot forward and make a half turn of the hand, pushing a thrust to his chest, making in this tempo a presa to his sword or his sword arm, with your left hand. Or that finding yourself true edge to true edge, you will immediately feint a roverso to his right temple; and in this tempo with your left hand you will take his sword near the hilt, and then subsequently taking his sword with both hands, you will forcefully drive a thrust to the chest, and you will pass in this tempo with your left foot forward, making said attack.
