Limhi's retrospective to Ammon of the charge against Abinadi reproduces the sermon's thesis sentence; 7:28 closes the loop ('because he said this, they did put him to death') the way Mosiah 17 closes the trial. Braid: 7:27 stands chapters before the trial narrative (the flashback, Mosiah 9-22), but Abinadi died in Noah's reign, before Limhi's - Limhi speaks chronologically AFTER the events. 7:27 also preserves clauses with no counterpart in the trial chapters: 'Christ was the God, the Father of all things' and the image-of-man/image-of-God clause (in-corpus counterparts disclosed: Alma 18:34; the Mosiah 7:27 ↔ Alma 18:34 pairing is registered as alma-ammon-image-of-god).
