Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

I think there is but one spoted Garment to cover his Body, one pluck more strips him, don’t mistake me my Brethren, it is not my Work or at least, but Part of it. It’s those Gentlemen the Authors of the Looking-Glass and the Quakers vindicated, that used their Neighbour in that Manner. Hower stripping a Man is not Murder. &c.
Judgement. When this appears in the Land, I’me surely judg’d you’l see, One that doth for the Quakers stand, And must their Creature be. Contentment.
