(p.159/#1) (True edge to True edge; as Patiente) You will be alert that if the enemy comes to mezza spada with his true edge to your true edge, in the manner of guardia di testa, perhaps, so that he might then make a presa to your sword arm, and throwing your arm perhaps under the left armpit; so when he goes to take your arm under his armpit, you will turn the point of your sword towards his left side, over his arm, and immediately take the blade of your sword with your left hand, the blade of your sword pushing forcefully against (or through) his throat, pushing strongly in that tempo your body into his, so that he cannot harm you with his sword.
