34) The doctrines of those illustrious men, like the scattered members of a body, Thomas collected together and cemented, distributed in wonderful order, and so increased with important additions that he is rightly and deservedly esteemed the special bulwark and glory of the Catholic faith. With his spirit at once humble and swift, his memory ready and tenacious, his life spotless throughout, a lover of truth for its own sake, richly endowed with human and divine science, like the sun he heated the world with the warmth of his virtues and filled it with the splendor of his teaching.
Spanish[es]
Sus doctrinas, como miembros dispersos de un cuerpo, reunió y congregó en uno Tomás, dispuso con orden admirable, y de tal modo las aumentó con nuevos principios, que con razón y justicia es tenido por singular apoyo de la Iglesia católica; de dócil y penetrante ingenio, de memoria fácil y tenaz, de vida integérrima, amador únicamente de la verdad, riquísimo en la ciencia divina y humana, comparado al sol, animó al mundo con el calor de sus virtudes, y le iluminó con esplendor.
Latin[la]
Illorum doctrinas, velut dispersa cuiusdam corporis membra, in unum Thomas collegit et coagmentavit, miro ordine digessit, ct magnis incrementis ita ad auxit, ut catholicae Ecclesiae singulare praesidium et decus iure meritoque habeatur. — Hic quidem ingenio docilis ct acer, memoria facilis et tenax, vitae integcrrimus, veritatis unice amator, divina humanaque scientia praedives, Soli comparatus, orbem terrarum calore virtutum fovit, et doctrinae splendore complevit.
