(p. 239/#3) (Sword and Targa) (Cinghiara Porta di Ferro Larga) If your adversary should be set in any guard with the sword in presence, you will be able to place yourself in cinghiara porta di ferro larga with your left foot traversing him; there step forward with your right foot and in that tempo you will give him a falso along with a roverso feint to the front leg, and as he goes to defend himself with the sword under his targa; seizing the tempo, you need to make a half turn of the first throwing a falso to his sword and knocking it out towards his left side and subsequently you will be able to pass your left foot towards his right side giving him a mandritto across his front leg, and in that tempo you will not forget to make a good defense of the head with your targa; but if he should defend himself from this attack, you will not delay, and will turn a roverso tondo to his face and subsequently push a thrust to his face accompanied by your targa for your security; and if he should want to strike you with any attack, and per adventure he may fear your thrust, you will presently be able to strike his targa arm with a mezzo roverso; or you may strike his front foot with a fendente, allowing the buckler to defend the head well; and then you will immediately return the sword with the point looking at his face, accompanied by your targa, and so you will be secure.
