The sermon is the continuation of a previous sermon (Sermon 121) on the parable of Lazarus and the rich man, and thus Peter preaches on that topic, noting however at the beginning that he should have spoken about Andrew:
Deberet, fratres, sermo noster hodie sancti Andreae, in quantum sufficit, referre virtutes. Sed quia de divite illo et Lazaro, evangelico paupere, quod superest nos diximus reddituros, et beato Andreae apostolatus et martyrii sui praerogativa sufficit et abundat ad gloriam, si placet, nos quae promisimus, quae debemus, ipso domino reddente solvamus.
'Today, brethren, our sermon ought to treat adequately the virtues of St. Andrew. However, we promised to go back and treat the remainder of the subject of the rich man and Lazarus, the poor man of the Gospel. Furthermore, the prerogative of St. Andrew’s apostolate and martyrdom suffice – yes, more than suffice – for his glory. Therefore, if it is agreeable to you, we shall, with the aid of the Lord, give you what we promised and owe.'
