Abstract
ABSTRACT American revivalist Lorenzo Dow (1777–1834) has long been identified as key to the emergence of camp meetings that led to Primitive Methodism. His visits to Ireland and England in 1799–1801, 1805–7, and 1818–19 brought conflicting responses from Wesleyanism at connexional level and much local interest in both countries. This article contends that it was his failure to cultivate alliances with any leading Wesleyan ministers and his preaching for both New Connexion and Independent Methodist churches that led to repeated Wesleyan Conference censure in England, while the support of influential itinerants in Ireland was not ultimately enough to prevent Conference disavowal there, too.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
