(p.80/#3) (Cinghiara Porta di Ferro Stretta vs. Porta di Ferro Larga; as Patiente) If your adversary is placed in porta di ferro larga with the right foot forward you will be opposite him in cinghiara porta di ferro stretta with the left foot forward somewhat traversing his right side; and there you will be admirably mindful that if he throws a rising falso to the sword hand or beats at you with a falso to then subsequently turn a mandritto to your face or your sword arm; in that same tempo you will pass your right foot forward, defending yourself with the true edge of the sword in the way of a roverso ridoppio towards his left side, giving him presently an overhand imbrocatta to the chest or the sword arm, in such a way that the sword will fall into porta di ferro larga.
