Incipit  Qui videt in abscondito reddet tibi. Mt 6. Quoniam ut dixit apostolus: Omnes vos manifestare oportet ante tribunal Christi [2 Cor 5.10], ideo pro tribunali hodie hic sedet Iesus, unde (?) uno venit ex latere iusticia ad accusandum peccatores et ex altero venit misericordia ad defensandum; ut ergo accusationes istas evadere possumus, recurramus ad fontem gratie etc. Qui videt in abscondito reddet tibi etc. ubi supra. Hodie ante tribunal Christi cum suis fustibus et latronibus currit Iusticia adducens peccatorem vinctum et clamat per Ioel prophete: Canite tubam in Syon et congregate populum et adunate senes et parvulos, quia miserum peccatorem accusare volo”, et vertens se ait: “O serenissime Iudex..." In front of Christ, justice accuses a sinner and asks for his condemnation, while the intervention of mercy convince the judge to postpone the verdict, saying that she will teach the sinner to change life. Focus of the sermon is on the need to conversion, without any further delay.  Justice accuses the sinner of two main sins: inordinate love of himself («ex amore suo inordinato»); and ambitious inflated soul, i.e. presumption («ex ambitiosa anima elata»). Justice points out that these were the same sins of Lucifer so the human being will deserve the same condemnation, which the judge has to sentence without waiting. The gravity of the two sins is presented through a series of quotations from patristic and theological authors, who are presented as doctores (a term that acquire a legal connotation in this context). The sinner in tears pleads for mercy in front of Christ, and in his support steps up Mercy, who first points out that the case of Lucifer and the man are different, since the first was fully aware of what he did – so cannot convert – while the man did it out of ignorance («ex ignorantia»), and his tears shows it. Misericordia asks the judge to have mercy and to allow her to teach and correct the sinner («Ideo, o benigne iudex, aspice peccatorem iam plorantem, concede eum misericordiam et eum per doctrinam ewangelii se reconoscere faciam et crastina die de accusatis iustum reddam»). Christ as judge allows it, and Mercy takes the sinner on her side, where she exhorts them [note the passage to the plural] for conversion, insisting on two topics: to convert by means of contrition and by escaping the behaviour of the hypocrites [link with the Gospel of the day]; to convert by means of the maceration of the body, i.e. by means of fasting. It follows an exhortation marked by the repetition of the sentence «O peccatores convertimini…», where the two topics are explored on the basis of a series of auctoritates, which serves to comment some point of the Gospel of the day.

Introduction It opens again with an exhortation  to the preachers: “Verba he pii redemptoris nostri devota mente palpitemus ut ex his incalescamus. Dicit namquam: Euntes, per fervens salutis desiderium. O vos divini verbi predicatores, in mundum universum fidem veram disseminantes, ac animas lucrantes, predicate verbo vocis et exemplo bone operationis omni creature, id est homini” (f. c2v) - tbc

Introduction  Link with previous sermon on faith and virtues. Baptism is salvific only if there is faith. Division First part Three types of faith. The fides formata  needs grace and bears good works, that is expresses itself in love (caritas). Summary of this concept and final exhortation to the soul to consider this precious gift, obtained by the blood of Christ, with reference to the spiritual marriage and the divine adoption that dignify the soul: "Unde anima nostra est terra in qua est germem, id est fides informis, qua infusa pluvia gratie eam facit fructificare operibus bonis, vel sicut lux veniens in domum tenebrosa diversis coloribus depictam colores venustat. Sic ipsa dei gratia animam fide informi et virtutibus adquisitis plenam honestat et vivificat. O igitur ainima Christi precioso sanguine redempta. O mens humana deo per fidem desponsata, o denique virtutibus insignita: considera ipsam divinam charitatem que te cupit salvare. Considera demum divinum donum quod tibi largitur. Item attende tua dignitatem, quia per illud donum effectus es filius dei altissimi et coheres angelorum et collega celestium civium. Agite itaque dignes gratiarum actiones divine nature" (f. d4r) Second part  The salvific true faith is expressed in three actions: "Primam, quia divinam veritatem firmiter credit" (believe in God); "Secundam quia credendo in deum fideliter tendit"; "Tertia quia se fides operibus veram ostendit" (ture faith manifexts itself in good works).(f. d4r) - in the final part of this section, before the final exempla , the sermon underlines the need of love (caritas) as forma of the faith, since without it faith is death like a body without soul, like a piece of coak without fire (f. d5r).
