Summa de laudibus Christiferæ Virginis (divinum magis quam humanum opus) Qu. 23. § 5. Item quod jura civilia, et leges, et decreta scivit in summo, probatur hoc modo; sapientia advocati manifestatur in tribus, unum, quod obtineat omnia contra judicem justum et sapientem; secundo, quod contra adversarium astutum et sagacem; tertio, quod in causa desperata: sed beatissima Virgo, contra judicem sapientissimum, Dominum; contra adversarium calidissimum, Dyabolum; in causa nostra desperata; sententiam obtalam obtinuit. The sum of praises of the virgin mother of Christ (a divine rather than a human work) Qu. 23. §. 5.
