OK. More than two hours from starting and hall an hour from getting the first one (with your help - thanks!), finally finished. But some of the parses are not clear. Could you please give the complete breakdown on 1a as I just can’t see the source for the anagram nor the full subtraction (unless it is simply “alm”). Also 2d - saw “villa” but can’t see full parse - and 4d; I see “sole” but that’s it. I’ll leave it at that as too many others to list!

Sure:

1A - anagram [anagrind is out] of TO PUT LOAVES AND FISHES minus APOSTLES

2D - ILL in VAIN

4D - OM is Order [of Merit] covering one [SOLE] plus single [I] plus love [O]
