 1     3|     ended,~Fashioned in form of church, and large and square;~With
 2     3|         XXI~This done, into the church she called the maid,~Where
 3     3|     sword:~Who shall defend the church from barbarous foes,~And
 4     3|      hireling bands,~Saving the church from his rapacious hands.~ ~
 5     3|       him such honour shall the church decree;~Fit guerdon of his
 6     3|      the wind:~To the afflicted church restore her lands,~And take
 7     3|       his Azo rears upright~The church's banner in his noble hand:~
 8     9|       of the blest~And glorious church the champion wont to be,~
 9     9|      not the Creator's will~The church so soon her champion should
10    14|       fall.~ ~ LXIX~At the high church, he, girt with paladine~
11    14|         foes offended,~Thy holy church and vicars have defended.~ ~
12    14| concluded~Him he should find in church or convent cell;~Where social
13    15|         the spur)~That they the Church from outrage to defend,~
14    16|          Militant here upon one Church's side.~Moreover, let not
15    26|         the sore scandal of the Church and Spain,~And to the Florentine'
16    28|       hillock's crest,~A little church the Saracen espied;~Abandoned
17    29|     Would turn into a tomb that church, where he~Inhabited, and
18    29|         he within its walls the church enclosed;~Wherein entombed
19    31|        dear,~To whom its safety Church and Empire owes,~Roland,
20    32|        And be received into her church's pale.~Time halts not more
21    33|      You see he suffers not the Church's head,~Passing the narrow
22    33| generous name alone!~Who by the Church's favour will regain~--
23    33|         attack,~Vext Italy, and Church, and Empire lack.~ ~ XLIX~"
24    33|        from rapacious hands~The Church's head and limbs, already
25    34|       aid~To Charles and to the Church in utmost need,~With me
26    34|     crowd~To be defender of his Church's right.~As he elected Sampson,
27    37|      town,~Others to sheltering church and house repair;~And none,
28    37|         allow.~ ~ CXIX~Beside a church, the martial damsels twain~
29    40|     steel.~I rate the Christian church, were he at rest,~As wolf
30    41|       the hill's brow,~A little church receives the rising day;~
31    43|          How will the Christian church and empire moan,~Whose best

34    43|       human medicine found,~His church he seeks, his knee to Jesus
35    46|      shone,~Hasting to help the church with lifted blade;~With
