A beautiful job, Brandon, thanks! One PL note: at 7:56, the outro -- you say "end of section four," where it should be "section eight."

Cheers,
Patrick

Ah! So, I think that was a copy/paste error from my Section 4 script. I fixed it.
Still 8:02

May I take sections 28 & 29 please.

All yours, Brandon, thank you!

Cheers,

Whoops, I was looking at the Sermon numbers. Could swap Section 28 (Sermon XXVII continued) out at take Section 17 (Sermon XVII. Of Shunning Vainglory and Pursuing Humble Obedience) instead please?

Done! Section 28 unassigned and section 17 assigned!

Thank you sir,
Patrick

Hi John, thanks for this reading, I enjoyed it very much!

A few PL notes:

The overall volume of the file as measured by Checker is 84.7 dB, it should be at minimum 86 dB, ideally 89 dB. You can fix this by applying the Amplify effect in Audacity to the entire file at a setting of 4.5 dB.

In the intro at the 2-second mark, you read the name of the section as "Sermons *OF* the Novices Regular" whereas it should be "Sermons *TO* the Novices Regular." It's a small change, not required, but I think it makes a difference as it is the title of the book.

At the 25-second mark, in the section title, the words "Sermon XXII" are missing -- a small detail, optional -- but adding them in will be consistent with other files in this project.

At 5:10, text is 'to amend himself *UNTO* better..." I heard "to amend himself *UPON* better"

At 6:05, text is "keep silence then, *OR* say something": I heard "keep silence then, *AND* say something"

At 9:24, text is, "every hour then we *SHOULD* beseech them...; I heard "...we *SHALL* beseech them..."

Thanks!
Patrick

Hi John, perfect seamless edits! File is PL OK! (Hope you don't mind -- on spot PL, I duplicated the initial 0.28 sec of silence at the start to bring the opening silence up past the 0.50 mark.)

Thanks again!

Hi John, a devout and beautiful sermon, beautifully read!

Just one PL note, -- at 5:36 the text is "who submits HIMSELF to her dominion and charge..." I heard "who submits HERSELF to her dominion and charge..." Since "himself/herself" is impersonal in context, either way could work with no change in meaning. But then I thought that the "herself" reading might be heard as referring back to Mary, which would be a very different meaning.

I wanted to check with you in case you would prefer to edit, if not I will gladly mark the file PL OK as is!

Thanks!
Patrick
