In front of the tribunal, justice accuses the sinner of two sins (both connected with the Rich Man of the pericope): the vanity of clothes and the luxury of food ("primo de ambiciosa vanitate vestimentorum, secundo de lasciviosa gulositate ciborum"; f. 41r)
Once the sinner asks for mercy, Misericordia addresses Jesus by saying: "O fons pietatis pietatem negare non potes, ecce iam contritus est et cor contritus et humiliatum deus |

Note the tension with the account of the Gospel, where the damned soul of the Rich Man cannot anymore ask for mercy.
