(p.234/#2) (Coda Lunga Stretta with the Left Foot Forward vs. Coda Lunga Stretta with Either Foot Forward) If your enemy should be found in coda lunga stretta with either foot forward, you will be place yourself against him in coda lunga stretta with the left foot forward; and there accordingly you will feint a stoccata trivillata to his chest, and as he goes to defend against this in any way, you will make an accrescimento a little forward with the left foot, striking his sword hand with a thrust or with a mezzo mandritto making the sword stop in cinghiara porta di ferro stretta; but if he should try to strike your upper parts in some manner, with both skill and grace, you will defend yourself against the coming attack with the true edge of the sword in the manner of guardia di intrare, passing your right foot forward in that tempo and there making a half turn of the hand, pushing an imbrocatta ferma to his chest or to his sword arm setting yourself then in porta di ferro stretta for your defense.
