Royal Skousen
save they had [ firstly 1ABCDEFGHIJKLPS|firstly > first M|first NOQRT] given to some of the Lamanite prisoners

Here the 1906 LDS large-print edition replaced the adverb firstly with the standard form, first. The LDS text has continued with first in this passage; the RLDS text has maintained the original firstly. As explained under Jacob 1:17, the critical text will restore firstly wherever it is found in the earliest textual sources.
