(p.252/#3) (Sword vs. Opposite Handed) (Coda Lunga Stretta vs Coda Lunga Stretta or Coda Lunga Alta with Either Foot Forward) But if your enemy should be placed in coda lunga stretta or in coda lunga alta with either foot forward, you will place yourself against him in coda lunga stretta with the right foot forward; and here you will pass the left foot somewhat traversing his left side, giving him a mezzo mandritto that descends into cinghiara porta di ferro larga, all exposed, enticing him into striking you; and so you will stay mindful that should he strike you, or even if he should not strike you, then you will be able to pass with the right foot forward lifting a rising falso to his sword hand and to his sword pushing it out towards his right side; and you will be subsequently able to give him a mandritto to the face or to the sword arm that descends into porta di ferro larga; and so if he should throw some attack here at you, you will strike his sword hand with a roverso traversato that descends into coda lunga larga; and subsequently you will renew your attack with a rising falso to his sword hand that goes in the manner of guardia sopra braccio; then for your safety you will withdraw the right foot back, giving him a roverso to the sword hand and to the sword arm that descends into coda lunga larga.
