De inobedientia propter quam Deus merito indignatur contra ipsos inobedientes et suorum preceptorum transgressores. Quoniam autem hec pestis virulenta inobedientie iam invasit multos, cum ipsa sit unum ex peccatis descendentibus a vana gloria, et propter ipsam Deus aufert ab hominibus regnum gratie et glorie sue, idcirco in hoc sermone de ea erimus tractaturi. Distinguemus autem triplicem inobedientiam: Prima dicitur protoplaustorum, de inobedientia primorum parentum, propter quam abstulit eis Deus plurima beneficia que contulerat et acriter punivit pena multiplici. Secunda religiosorum, de inobedientia religiosorum que aliquando potest excusari, aliquando interpretari, aliquando vero reprehendi et reprobari; et de septem gradibus vere obedientie. Tertia excommunicatorum: de inobedientia excommunicatorum et quare potest quis excommunicari et quomodo iniusta excommunicatio est timenda; et de septem penalibus separationibus quas excommunicatio facit.

On disobedience, which causes God's righteous indignation against those who disobey and transgress His precepts. Since this virulent plague of disobedience has already spread itself among many, for is one of the sins that stems from vainglory, and since it is the reason why God deprives men of His reign of grace and glory, we shall deal with this subject in the present sermon. We shall therefore distinguish a threefold form of disobedience: The first concerns the progenitors, on the disobedience of the first parents (i.e. Adam and Eve), which was the reason why God took away the many benefits He had bestowed upon them and harshly punished them with many sufferings. The second concerns the faithful: on the disobedience of the faithful, which can at times be excused, interpreted or blamed and reprimanded; and on the seven degrees of truthful obedience. The third concerns the excommunicated: on the disobedience of the excommunicated and how one can be excommunicated and in what way unjust excommunication must be feared; and on the seven degrees of penal separation that excommunication produces.
