Sunday gospel sermon for Advent 1 (Matthew 21. 1–9); begins imperfectly. The first sermon in the English Filius matris, translated from the late s. xii or early s. xiii Latin Collectio ‘Filius matris’ traditionally attributed to William de Montibus (c. 1140–1213). Wells Rev. 11:4287 [31]. Items [1]–[61] represent a full English translation of this Latin sermon cycle.
