(p.52/#1) (Coda Lunga Stretta (L) vs. Sword in Presence) If you are set in coda lunga stretta with the left foot forward, you will stay aware, that if the enemy should have the sword in presence; your point will not be guarding his person, but the sword should be guarding aslant towards his right side, for you will set yourself up better in this crafty manner, and then you will immediately drive the true edge of your sword into his true edge, while passing the right foot a great step forwards, and pushing a thrust to his chest behind his sword; and this blow needs to sling the enemy's sword forcefully towards the ground, and so in the same tempo, you will push a thrust to the gut; and if he should lift up the sword to defend himself from said thrust, you immediately will pass the left foot forward in a great pass somewhat towards his right side and you will make a presa to his sword with your left hand.
