De horrendo peccato homicidii, ad quod consequi solet desperatio et impenitentia. Idcirco, ad tantum periculum devitandum, in presenti sermone de homicidio erimus locoturi, quia penitentibus satis prodesse potest huius materie declaratio. De homicidio ergo tria principalia mysteria proponemus aperienda: Primum dicitur diffinitio: quid sit homicidium et de his qui interficiunt seipsos et de occisione brutorum et qualiter quandoque homicidium fieri potest absque peccato. Secundum modificatio, quod non solum manu, sed etiam multis aliis modis homicidium damnabiliter committi potest. Tertium punitio, quod omnes leges, tam divine quam humane, acriter et gravissime damnant ac puniunt homicidas.

On the hideous sin of homicide, which is usually followed by despair and unrepentance. Therefore, in order to avoid such a danger, in the present sermon we shall speak of homicide, since the clarification of this matter can suitably benefit penitents. On murder, therefore, we shall propose to clarify three main mysteries: The first concerns the definition: what homicide is and about those who kill themselves and about the killing of brutes and how and when homicide can be committed without sin. The second concerns structure, since not only with the hand, but also in many other condemnable ways homicide can be committed. The third concerns punishment, since all laws, both divine and human, harshly and severely condemn and punish homicide.
