Abstract
And as we to-day look back and review the history of the English Church for those three hun- dred years, what cause have we not to bless God for giving and preserving to our use our Book of Common Prayer !That precious book, and the holy and blessed English Bible, which is insepar- able from it, and which is read, by its directions, in the ears of the people, through and through in their mother tongue, day by day every year ; that book, under God's blessing, has made the English nation what it is at this day-the salt of the earth and the hope of the world.Thank God for our Book of Common Prayer It is my duty to-day, as instructed by the Synod, to give you a brief history of the Prayer Book.And as in doing so I must necessarily crowd a great deal of matter into a short space of time, I must beg, my brethren, your most careful attention.1 .Now, in the first place, let me ask you to think for a moment what a Book of Common Prayer is.It is, is it not, a form set forth by authority, for the common public worship of Almighty God.It is plain that if a number of persons are to come together, from time to time, to worship God, they must agree together beforehand to conduct their worship on some plan, or else there would be confusion.There must be, then, it would seem, some form, or plan, or mode, well known and agreed upon beforehand, if people are to come together for public worship.And so we find it always has been all the world over, both among Christian and heathen nations ; and so it is among It is well known to learned men that the early Church all over the world had its Liturgy,-its Book of Common Prayer.The Church was planted in and over nearly the whole known world, by the Apostles themselves ; and we find that each Church so planted had a Liturgy of its own.Each Church, i.e., not each congregation, nor yet perhaps each diocese, but each province, each large section of # Acts ii.42.t Acts xx. 7.

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.
