textual ammendments

John-Romans
Scadding returned to his sermon some time after its delivery. He would be using it again and thus wanted to amend the text so that the sermon was improved for the next recitation. He strikes through portions of the sentences and adds revisions above the demarcated text. While a few phrases could simply be ̶c̶r̶o̶s̶s̶e̶d̶ ̶o̶u̶t̶ replaced, On another visitation of the sermon, Scadding disliked the bottom portion of the sermon he'd written on the page. He found himself writing a revision on a rectangular separate piece of paper and pasting it over the section to amend the text completely. The noticeably less-neat writing continues the expound the "Common Laws" raised but also censors the insufficient portion written previous.

Essays & Sermons
The English preacher revisited the introduction of a sermon addressed to their peers. This sermon was written as part of a notable recitation to their ecclesiastical peers. On this account, the preacher only has to amend a phrase at the beginning, crossing it out and writing a simplified "have." Upon rereading, they add a superlative atop of "exertion" so that they know to add it next time they present the sermon. The sermon changes with each recitation but it is reserved for their fellow clergy and advocates Christian practices and the techniques of the other preachers in the audience.
