a4r [Johannes de Werdena]: Sermones ‘Dormi secure' de tempore. ‘Dominica prima aduentus. Sermo primus.’ Incipit: ‘Sermones dominicales cum expositionibus euangeliorum per annum satis notabiles et vtiles omnibus sacerdotibus pastoribus et capellanis qui Dormi secure vel dormi sine cura sunt nuncupati eo quod absque magno studio faciliter possunt incorporari et populo predicari incipiunt feliciter. “[D]icite filie Syon ecce rex tuus venit tibi mansuetus.” Matthei .xxi. [Mt 21,5.] Verba ista scripta sunt originaliter Zacharie .ix . . . Quod nobis ille concedat qui sine fine viuit et regnat. Ad laudem et honorem omnipotentis dei virginisque matris finiunt sermones notabiles quamquam breves Dormi secure intitulati.’ See J‑207.
