| | Yep it's "capient"! Silly mistake, I took even great care over all those subjunctives!  |

"I will walk dressed and armed with the weapons of St. George so my enemies even having feet do not reach me, even having hands do not get me, even having eyes do not see me and not even in thought can they do me any harm" |

| | Hi Alex, 
I have some more suggestions for you.
Just to get closer to the original text:
pedibus --> pedes habentes
manibus --> manus habentes
oculis --> oculos habentes
ne cogitent mihi aliquid malum facere posse.
--> ne cogitantes quidem mihi aliquid malum facere possint.
What do you think?

| | Well, it sounds a bit weird also in English, don't you think? Anyway, in my opinion all these "pedibus", "manibus" etc. would make the text too amiguous. |

| | Haha! I don't know. Because they didn't need to translate their texts into other languages too often? |
