§ 19.

  We therefore, following the command and will of God and attentive, that it be just and due, that God honor in Heaven those whom we praise with a office of veneration and glorify on earth, since He Himself is more powerfully praised and glorified in them, who is praisable and glorious throughout the ages, did establish this day to be celebrated for the canonization of the same Saint Bonaventure in the midst of the Nasilica of the Prince of Apostles in the City, in which the greatest multitude of every kind and order streamed together. There, with all remaining things legitimately transacted, the aforesaid Procurator of the Order of the Minors, standing in the middle, proclaiming the saying of the blessed John the Apostle with a clear voice, namely: "There are three, who give witness in Heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit" (I John 5:7), proved also, with the process concerning the aforementioned things having been held, that the very Persons of the Most Blessed Trinity had borne witness: namely the Father in the power of his miracles, the Son in the wisdom of his doctrine, and the Holy Spirit in the goodness of his life. And on that account not only in the names of all, who begged that this canonization be accomplished, but even on the part of the each member of the Trinity, Father and Son and Holy Spirit, he requested, that we deign to pronounce the same Blessed Bonaventure a Saint, urgently, more urgently, and most urgently. Confident therefore, that in this canonization God would not permit Us to err, who required that all requisite things in this of whateverkind be observed superabundantly, and did observe such, having been assured from the unanimous consent of Our same brothers, the Cardinals of the Holy Roman Church, and the prelates in the Roman Curia who were present, and with the mature counsel of the omnipotent God and the authority of His blessed Apostles, Peter and Paul, We determined that Bonaventure of Bagnoregio, of blessed memory, professor of sacred theology, from the bosom of the sacred Order of Minors and called from the office of the Generalate to be a Cardinal Bishop, should be a Saint and will be inscribed, added, and entered into the catalogue of God's other Saints, and faithfully and firmly considered (to be such); and according to these present documents, We solemnly inscribe the same in the company of the holy Confessors, Pontiffs and Doctors, whom the holy Church of God venerates, and according to these present letters We do aggregate him to their number.
