Spanheim: Mary's honor is grateful thought, preaching of her virtues, and commendation of her glory

Spanheim's account of the honor due to Mary is also the pattern for other Saints.

First comes honoring remembrance that God, in sheer goodness, made her the mother of the Lord who is Father of all.

Second, preaching the virtues Scripture records in her, as an example.

Third, commending the glory and blessedness she enjoys in heaven.

Latin

XXXVI. Sic Frederico Spanhemio Honor Beatae Virgini Mariae debitus (ex quo de honore Sanctis aliis convenienti judicium fieri potest) est primo cogitatio & commemoratio honorifica insignis illius honoris, quo Deus illam prae omnibus creaturis pro gratiosa sua bonitate dignatus fuit, ut mater illius & esset, & diceretur, qui omnium Pater est, & Dominus. Secundo praedicatio virtutum ejus, quae nobis in sacris litteris describuntur, pietatis, charitatis, humilitatis, constantiae, & aliarum id genus virtutum, quae singulariter in eximio hoc Dei organo eminuerunt, & omnibus in exemplum proponi debent. Tertio commendatio gloriae & beatitudinis qua fruitur in caelis. Dubiorum Evangelicorum part. 2. dub. 48. num. 4.
