[2] en varði guð ‘and defended God’: Finnur Jónsson (Skj B) takes the cl. with the sentence which follows and translates: men gud forbød ham det ‘but God forbade him that’ (i.e. forbade him to use his sword). As Kock points out (NN §2880), the order of clauses argues strongly against such an awkward reading. Taking guð as the object of varði gives better sense.
