Cult has three acts: intellect of excellence, will’s inward bow, and outward signs of subjection
Roman doctors (Bellarmino first) say cult wraps three acts.
Intellect grasps the excellence; will bows inward and wills a protest of that excellence and our subjection.
Outward signs follow—head bowed, knee bent, or the like.
Latin
I. Ante omnia Doctores Ecclesiae Romanae, ac Bellarminus in primis, observant cultum in genere tres diversos actus complecti. Et primo actum intellectus quo apprehendimus ejus quem colimus excellentiam. Secundo actum voluntatis, quo nos illi interius inclinamus, & aliquid volumus facere actu interiore, vel exteriore, quo protestemur ejus excellentiam, & nostram subjectionem. Tertio actum exteriorem, quo caput inclinamus, vel genu flectimus, vel aliquod aliud signum subjectionis ostendimus. De Sanctorum Beatitudine lib. 1. cap. 12.
