(p.229/#1) (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 able to place yourself into coda lunga stretta with the left foot forward; and there you will push a thrust to the right side of his chest, and passing subsequently with the right foot forward you will turn a mandritto to his left temple or to his sword, and note this mandritto goes not to actually strike your enemy, but only to bring you together with him in to mezza spada, true edge to true edge, in the manner of guardia di intrare; note you must be very shrewd, when you find yourself at mezza spada you will be able to proceed in one of two ways, the first being, that you will pass with your left foot forward making a half turn of the hand pushing a thrust to the chest, making in this tempo a presa to his sword or to his sword arm with your left hand; the other is that finding yourself true edge to true edge, you will be able to feint a roverso to the right temple and in this tempo you will place your left hand upon your blade near the guard, and with the strength of both hands you will drive forward with all your strength a thrust to the chest, and you will pass in this tempo with your left foot forward making this thrust.
