As a child Neville's mother would take him on her knee and tell him the story of Jesus – the fatherless son who claimed to be the Father, the miraculous birth, John the Baptist, David calling him 'my Lord', the fiery serpent and the descending dove – mysteries neither she nor he understood but which he carried with him.

Reasoning

bound
Why
Tightens the phase4 L6a envelope from before 1970 to before 1970-06-01.
Reasoning
L6a envelope tightened to the telling day of nid 83 (certain delivery 1970-06-01); same premise, finer precision. The phase4 L6a bound on this event is `before 1970`, an envelope over delivery YEARS computed without reading text. Its premise is that the fact is true by the time it is told; on that same premise the DAY of the telling is a strictly better upper bound. Nothing is re-decided — the bound is stated to the precision the evidence always supported. The delivery claim for 1970-06-01 on nid 83 is held at `certain` by the corpus, which is what carries this claim. #2274; the L6a row stands beside this one.
