Introduction Cherubino states that since he will preach to his audience only a few more days, I wants to offer them his own spiritual last will (in the same way a father would do with his own sons) by presenting a specific teaching to different categories of people, starting in this sermon with the rules for the poor and the rich.   First part For the poor the sermon focuses on: humility, prayer and patience ("profunda humilitas, devota oratio, patiens tolleratio"). Second part For the rich it focuses on: truth, piety (pietas), and liberality.

This time justice complains for the behaviour along Lent of the judge (i.e. Jesus), who did not condem the sinner. Hence, she refuses his sentence and appeals to God the father [check]. The debate involves now not only justice and mercy but also peace and truth (i.e. the four 'sisters' mentioned in Psalm 84, quoted at the beginning of the sermon - still, it does not introduce the reconciliation among them) In front of the tribunal of Jesus, justice complains by saying that she is the foundation of any law and order and without her all cities and kingdoms would be destroied by crimes; however, the sinner was never given to her during the Lent and the judge let always mercy prevails. Therefore, if also on that day Jesus does not listen to her, she will appeal to God the father and refuse to comply with Jesus’ orders. Supported by the intervention of truth, justice seems to win the day and the judge ready to condemn the man, yet the prompt intervention of mercy and peace once again overturns the judgement, that is: peace suggests that the judge (i.e. Jesus) could pay instead of the sinner by appearing as culprit in front of a different tribunal, that chaired by Justice. Jesus turns to God the Father and declares his readiness to redeem in this way the sinner, who is therefore freed from his sins.
