Pivoted on 5,775 First-Edition sentence IDs. Sentences are clean grammatical units (split at line-end full stops, multi-ID spans merged): 95 merges · 126 clean splits (one ID → two sentences at a line break) · 46 mid-line breaks (kept within one sentence, not subdivided) · 18 lines added in revision · 5 relocated IDs (103.36, 103.37, 119.5, 94.3, 94.4).

How the revised sentences relate to First-Edition IDs

The revised text is tagged line-by-line with the First-Edition sentence IDs it derives from. Three things happen during revision, all kept visible so the lineage stays intact:

merged  A grammatical sentence that runs across several First-Edition IDs (the earlier ID ends in : ; , rather than a full stop). Tagged e.g. 4.21+4.22 and counted once.
break  A single First-Edition ID whose span contains a second sentence beginning mid-line (the break is shown as ). Tagged a/b; not subdivided for sorting or the Home view.
added  A verse line introduced in the revision (tagged #n a on the preceding First-Edition line), lengthening the sentence.
relocated  A First-Edition ID whose lines appear in two separated positions in the revised order.

Merged multi-ID sentences (95)

Two or more consecutive First-Edition sentences (left, each in its own box) joined into one revised sentence (right). Every revised line is tagged with its First-Edition id#line.

Clean splits (126)

A single First-Edition sentence (left) divided into two sentences at a line break in the revision — a full stop replaces what was a comma/semicolon at line-end. The revised sub-sentences (right, boxes a / b) are counted separately for sorting.

Mid-line breaks (46 in 44 sentences)

A second sentence beginning mid-line (not at a line break). The revised unit is shown divided at the break (right) but is kept as one sentence for sorting (the lines cannot be split cleanly).

Relocated First-Edition IDs (5)

The IDs 103.36, 103.37, 119.5, 94.3, 94.4 have their lines redistributed across two separated runs. Left: the original First-Edition sentence; right: the revised sentences carrying its lines, with id#line tags showing the reordering.

Lines added in revision (18)

Verse lines new to the revision (absent from the First Edition), tagged #n a and highlighted on the right.
