Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The publication of James Tyrrell's Patriarcha, Non Monarcha in 1681 was the first major Whig shot fired in the polemical dispute raised by the issue of Exclusion. It was at once a piece d'occasion devoted to advancing the Whig position in the Exclusion crisis and a major work of political philosophy dealing with such issues as the nature of political society, the origin of property, the principle of consent, and the main features of late-seventeenth-century natural jurisprudence. One commentator has observed that Patriarcha, Non Monarcha is “perhaps the most interesting work of political theory published in England between 1660 and 1689.” At its core, this work is the classic moderate Whig defense of limited government against what Tyrrell calls Filmer's “Absolute Monarchy Jure Divino .” In contrast, Tyrrell presents himself as a defender of the rule of law and rejects all of Filmer's attempts to deny the validity of the legal limits on monarchical power that require rulers to abstain from the “Lives, Liberties or Properties of their Subjects.” Tyrrell's moderate political credentials were impeccable. He was born in 1642 at the outbreak of England's turbulent civil war period. As the son of a prominent Buckinghamshire gentleman in royal service, Sir Timothy Tyrrell, and grandson on his maternal side of the celebrated champion of the divine right of kings, Archbishop Ussher of Armagh, James Tyrrell's familial political legacy was decidedly Cavalier.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
