Abstract
The Reverend Jacob Bailey was a key figure in the early Anglican Church in Nova Scotia, as well as one of the first Loyalists to come to Nova Scotia from New England.Along with the first Bishop of Nova Scotia, Charles Inglis, Bailey was a formative influence in the Anglican Church; he was also a poet and a satirist, a supporter of the Crown, and an opponent of the revolutionary influences that spread through the Thirteen Colonies and less successfully in the Maritime provinces.Much has been written about Bailey -his personal story offers many insights into the Loyalist experience.His manuscripts were widely scattered, thus new Bailey materials still come to light.His surviving writings reveal a strong defender of both the faith and the Crown.Arguably, in the context of eighteenth-century America, the two could not be separated.While the revolution on one level may have seemed to be all about taxation, democracy, and an emerging colonial bourgeois society, it was also about continued ideological conflict in that part of post-Reformation Christendom that had not remained under the authority of Rome.The tensions between the vision of an Established Church headed by the sovereign and the competing Protestant faiths that came to predominate in the Thirteen Colonies were both cause and effect of the clash between classes and interests that resulted in the birth of the United States.At the same time, the exodus of Tory Anglicans that the revolution

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
