(p.214/#2) (Coda Lunga Alta vs. Porta di Ferro Larga) Finding yourself in porta di ferro alta with your right foot forward and your enemy in porta di ferro larga, or in porta di ferro stretta; there you will be mindful, for your enemy can easily beat your sword with a falso and then pass his left foot forward, making a half turn of the hand, and jam a thrust into your chest; to defend against this, in the moment that he throws the falso to your sword while passing his left foot forward, you will not allow his falso to touch your sword, and will skillfully take your sword under his out towards his left side placing the true edge of your sword outside his and pushing well towards his right side you will be able to subsequently push a thrust to his chest, or give him a roverso to his face, whichever you will prefer, setting yourself then in porta di ferro stretta, or in any other guard.
