(p.234/#1) (Porta di Ferro Larga vs. Sword in Presence) Any time that you should find your enemy with the sword in presence you will be able to place yourself against him in porta di ferro larga with the right foot forward; and you may skillfully lift a rising falso to his sword hand that does not pass guardia di faccia, and then subsequently stepping a little forward with your right foot you may throw a mandritto to his chest or to his sword arm that descends again into porta di ferro larga; and having withdrawn the right foot back near the left, then you may lift a rising falso to his sword hand (as described above), and subsequently passing your left foot somewhat traversing his right side you may give him a mandritto to his face or to his sword arm that descends into cinghiara porta di ferro larga; then subsequently, without demure, you can step pass your right foot forward, lifting a rising falso in the same manner mentioned twice before, you can give him quickly then a mandritto to the face or to the sword arm, and for your security you will keep it from passing porta di ferro stretta, if that is at all possible; and be advised that these three falsi (falsos) with the three mandritti (mandrittos) must go with the greatest of speed, so that you will be suppressing your enemy from responding to you with any attack he might wish to make, and so in striking him you will also be defending yourself.
