(p.71/#3) (Porta di Ferro Stretta vs Sword in Presence) If your adversary is settled with the sword in presence with the left or the right foot forward, and you find yourself in porta di ferro stretta with the right foot forward; there you will pull back the left foot making a half turn of the hand and setting yourself into coda lunga stretta; and immediately you will pull the left foot near the right making another half turn of the hand and setting yourself in porta di ferro stretta; subsequently you will pass a great pass of the left foot traversing towards his right side and throwing at him a mezzo mandritto that stops in cinghiara porta di ferro stretta; and there whether or not your enemy responds you will make a great pass of the right foot forward doing a half turn of the hand and pushing a thrust to his face, and this thrust goes to guardia di testa so that you are positioned to defend yourself, and this thrust will wound in the same tempo by being pushed to his right side {of his face, possibly}; and if he should defend this thrust by lifting his sword up from below, you will subsequently pass the left foot in a great pass forward making a presa to his sword or his sword hand with your left hand; and then you will immediately thrust him to his flank.
