This is set up.

I put the genre in as Christianity-Commentary, and I've left the keywords up in case you want to view them.

Wow, great job. I think your voice sounds perfect for this text.

I heard a couple little differences from the text:
at about 5:19 I heard "differs" and the text says differ with no s.
at about 23:10 I heard a repeat of:
"and that we neither be presumptuous, lightly esteeming Christ's death, neither yet unmindful of our former estate and miseries"

Hello ITD,
I noted that for both sections I had to lower my volume quite a bit. I don't know what the decibels would be so it might still be within range.

Again I heard only 2 small differences from the text:
about 15:49 the word more is omitted from “more nigh unto you”
31:52 "the plagues of the people of Israel" God is substituted for Israel.

Interesting reading.

Spot checks with new timings for section 1
05:15 I heard 'differs' and the text says differ with no s.
23:10 I heard a repeat of: 'and that we neither be presumptuous, lightly esteeming Christ's death, neither yet unmindful of our former estate and miseries'

(Click on the timestamps to spot check)

I'm not actually sure why the percieved volume is so high. It's 89dB on Checker.

Not very clean edits unfortunately because I currently have a blocked nose so I can't match the tone.

Thanks for DPLing!
