(p.225/#5) (Coda Lunga Stretta or Coda Lunga Alta Either with the Left Foot Forward as Patiente) Finding yourself in coda lunga stretta or in coda alta, with your left foot forward against you enemy, and if he should perhaps throw some attack to your sword hand or to your sword arm or if you should have to defend with the sword, or for any other reason you may have in your head, you will be mindful that in the tempo that throws the aforementioned attack, you will withdraw your sword hand somewhat back, making his blow come up empty, and subsequently passing with your right foot in a great step forward you will push a thrust to his flank; and note that it is necessary to make this thrust very quickly, then you will withdraw your right foot back, and place yourself into coda lunga stretta again.
