(p.77/#3) (Coda Lunga Stretta with the Left Foot Forward as Patiente) If you are settled in coda lunga stretta with the left foot forward against your enemy; you will stay wary, that if he throws some attack, you will withdraw the left foot somewhat backwards towards the right foot to within four fingers' distance, while at the same time giving him a mezzo mandritto to the sword hand that does not past porta di ferro stretta; and then immediately you will pass the right foot forward feinting a thrust to the left side of his chest, and as he makes to defend against this thrust, you will subsequently make a sfalsata of your sword under his, passing your left foot forward, and so pushing a punta ferma to the right side of his chest, the sword ending in guardia di coda lunga alta; and there you will once again throw the left foot backwards setting yourself in coda lunga stretta.
