On voit asses combien grandes alarmes
Satan, le monde, ont jusqu’ici livrez
A tous Chrestiens: mais comme bons gendarmes
Resistez forts par foy: car delivrez
Serez bien tost de ces fols enyvrez
Du sang des saincts, qui crie à Dieu vengeance:
Ainsi par foy Christ, vostre chef, suyvrez.
Voyci, il vient: courage en patience.

RESISTITE FORTES

Resist strongly. 1 Peter 5:9.

A man defends himself with a giant shield on which two clasped hands are portrayed. A disembodied hand coming out of a globe with a 'T' shaped cross on it shoots arrows at him. A cherub in the sky blows a trumpet.

lxxxiii.

Acria bella cient homini, pellacia mundi,
Debilitas carnis, daemonis invidia:
Ast clypeus sit vera fides: hoc tegmine tutus
Hostis despicies irrita tela tui.

The wiles of the world, the weakness of the flesh and the envy of the devil stir up violent strife for man. But let your shield be true faith; safe with this cover, you will disdain the your enemy's weapons which will not make their mark.
