“Deliver You Out of Bondage”

Brant Gardner

Rhetoric: This is the point toward which Limhi has been working. Here he makes his implicit promise explicit. Faith can erase their sufferings caused by past transgression.

Text: Although a chapter break occurs here in the 1879 edition, there is no break in the 1830 edition (which breaks between modern chapters 8 and 9). Even though the remainder of the chapter is an abridgment of the rest of Limhi’s presentation, not a quotation, the modern chapters 7–8 (following the 1879 chapter divisions) should be read together, as dealing with a single event.
