(p.163/#2) (Coda Lunga Stretta with the Left Foot Forward vs. Coda Lunga Stretta with Either Foot) If your enemy is found in coda lunga stretta with either foot forward, you will be set against him in coda lunga stretta with the left foot forward; and there you can feint a stoccata trivillata to the chest; and as he will to defend in some way, you will subsequently make an accrescimento of your left foot somewhat forward, striking his sword hand with a thrust, or with a mezzo mandritto making the sword stop in cinghiara porta di ferro stretta; and if should try to attack your upper parts in some way, you will, with skill and gallantry, defend with the true edge of your sword against the coming attack in guardia di intrare; passing then in that tempo with your right foot forward, and there making a half turn of the hand, you will push an imbrocatta ferma to the chest or to the sword arm, setting yourself then in porta di ferro for your defense.
