What remains is pious memory, praise, and imitation of faith, hope, and the other virtues
Asked what honor of the Saints is left, Le Blanc answers from the Reformed doctors.
It is frequent pious remembrance, a high estimate, praise when there is occasion, and a careful recall of their virtues and great deeds.
Above all it is following their example, receiving their teaching, and striving to match their hope, faith, love, zeal, courage, patience, and humility.
Latin
XXXV. At, inquies, quid ergo restat ex Doctorum Ecclesiae Reformatae sententia, quo Sanctos honorare & colere possimus? Respondeo, juxta ipsos, honorem illum consistere in pia & frequenti illorum commemoratione; in eo quod magnifice de ipsis sentiamus, laudes eorum, quum se fert occasio, celebremus, eorumque virtutes & egregia facta sedulo recolamus, & in animum revocemus. Praesertim vero in eo, quod eorum exemplum sequamur, doctrinam amplectamur, & spem, fidem, charitatem, zelum, fortitudinem, patientiam & humilitatem, qua nobis praeluxerunt, toto animi conatu aemulemur.
