Jonathan Mayhew: Two Discourses
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Jonathan Mayhew, a pastor at the West Church in Boston, Massachusetts, offered two sermons on October 25, 1759. Delivered as an observation of thanksgiving following a military success of the British army, they were published as Two Discourses delivered October 25th. 1759. Being the day appointed by authority to be observed as a day of public thanksgiving, for the success of His Majesty’s arms, more particularly in the reduction of Quebec, the capital of Canada: With an appendix, containing a brief account of two former expeditions against that city and country, which proved unsuccessful. In his discourses, Mayhew is celebrating the battle outside the Canadian city of Quebec in September 1759 during the French and Indian War (1754–63), which was part of a larger conflict known in Europe as the Seven Years’ War. As in many of the sermons of the day, Mayhew reflects on a particular biblical passage, in this case Psalm 126, verse 3: “The LORD hath done great Things for us, whereof we are glad.”

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.
