Revitalizing Manuscript Sermons of the
18th & 19th Century as Oral Ephemera
oratory residue
Scadding retrieves a pencil and returns to his sermons on the Proverbs of Malachi after he has already written and edited once before in ink. He employs a few revisions by striking phrases and writing revisions. More significantly, he has delivered the sermon already and marks oral queues for himself at the next presentation of this sermon. In his first recitation, he noticed he could have used some breathing space to rhetorical effect after discussing Christ's "resurection" so he writes "PAUSE", verbatim, as a note of oration. Subsequently, he adds vertical bars that separate ideas and underlines phrases to be emphasized.
Joseph Thompson:
Amplication of Christ's Glory
Joseph Thompson Sermon
Joseph Thompson writes his sermon on the words of Jesus Christ's apostles and begins the sermon with a praise of Christ's gifts onto humankind. However, Thompson wants to increase the fullness of certain phrases when he speaks them so that the names of Apostles like John and references to Christ are accentuated in the rhetorical technique of annunciation. These figures and their corresponding virtues are capitalized and underlined so that he knows which phrases to focus upon.
“oral residue” are oratory remnants that translate and remain in the written composition for oral performance (Elders, 128)
