The title is reconstructed by Olivar as ‘A second on the same' referring to the preceding Sermon 152 bearing the title 'On Herod and the Infants' (E02991).
The sermon starts discussing virgin birth as being divine, and then comes to the reading of the day about the infants killed by Herod in Matthew 2:16-18 (§ 1). It praises these infants as martyrs (§ 2). The sermon ends by rejecting the idea that the baby Jesus fled to Egypt out of fear. It was an act of love, since Christ’s flight enabled the infants to become martyrs in the Church (§ 3).
