Apparatus

who was crushed to death in a well

Richards alone records the physical cause of death, a falling tub of rock; Clayton breaks off at '&c—' and does not name the well. The difference is one of reportorial fullness rather than doctrine, but it is the only place in the discourse where the occasion's factual detail varies, and T, drawn from Bullock and Clayton, preserves neither Richards's detail nor Clayton's ellipsis.

the great Eloe

The three reports transliterate the divine name differently, and Smith reads Bullock's form as 'Eloi' or 'Eloe'. Transliteration alone would fall below the threshold of this apparatus, but the name is the subject of the sermon's central argument and 'Eloi' would carry an accidental echo of Mark 15:34. Clayton alone locates the Eloheim in the heavens, a clause T adopts and expands to 'yonder heavens'.

for I speak as one having. authority. & not as a senr.

Bullock alone carries the second half of the Matthew 7:29 allusion, and JSP flags the last word as possibly 'servt.' while noting the allusion requires 'scribe'. Smith adds that 'senr' might be an abbreviation of senator, which would make the clause a political jab rather than a scriptural one. Bullock himself dropped the phrase when he compiled T, so the received text preserves only the half that Clayton also has.

before worlds came rolled nto existence

Bullock places the Father's probation before the worlds came into existence, Clayton at the time they did. The difference sets the Father's mortal work either prior to or contemporaneous with creation, which bears directly on how the sermon's chain of Gods is to be ordered. Woodruff has no temporal marker at all. T follows Clayton's 'when'.

it corespends the nearest to the revelations. that I have given the last 14 years

Bullock alone dates the revelatory career, at fourteen years, in the appeal to the German text; Clayton records the same claim of correspondence with no span attached, and Woodruff and Richards do not report the comparison at this point. T prints Bullock's figure, so the received text carries a date that rests on one report. Richards gives the same fourteen years later, of baptism rather than of revelation.

as the grand council gave in for J. C.

Bullock and Richards both record a decision procedure, and they describe it differently: the council 'gave in for' Jesus, or the lot 'fell on' him. Both suggest a determination rather than an appointment, and Richards's is the language of casting lots. Woodruff and Clayton have only the rebellion and the fall, with no account of how Christ came to be chosen. Smith connects Richards's phrase to council elections. T prints Bullock's.

there is one glory of the moon Sun & Stars &c

Bullock alone brings in 1 Corinthians 15:41. It is the scriptural warrant for the degrees of glory the section goes on to describe, and without it Woodruff's report has only the many mansions of John 14:2. T expands Bullock's compressed '&c' into the full verse, which is a regularisation against the printed Bible rather than against any report.

I have a Far. Bror. Friends who are gone to a world of Sp

Woodruff includes children among the speaker's own dead where Bullock has a father, a brother and friends, and T follows Bullock. In a funeral sermon the list is a biographical detail rather than a doctrinal one, and the reports do not agree on it.

Alexander Campbell— how are you going to save them with water—

Bullock alone names Alexander Campbell. Woodruff has the same argument against water-only baptism without the name, and Richards has the three baptisms without the polemic. Smith connects the apostrophe to Campbell's baptismal theology. T keeps the name and adds 'alone', which sharpens the charge into one Campbell might have recognised.
