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.

We must all allow, that we are Subordinate to England; our Laws receive their Essence, i.e. Their very Life and Being from the English Laws; therefore I say, while we are thus situated, it is impossible to from Laws here Contrary to those Laws: And where our Legislative body to agree together, form an Edict, and publish it as such, it could have no more Weight or Force here, then a single Blank; because there is nothing to support it; yet we derive from the Essence of the English Laws, a Privilege to make such Acts, as may serve our Necessities or Occasions; but when they come upon Compotion with the Royal Laws, they must all nuckle into Subordination. I look upon this nearly a simelar Case with the Quakers and their Society Rules: Notwithstanding they are satyriz’d by a set of mean envious Lowliv’d Scriblers, I have transcribed, in the first Place a Law; that was made in Heaven, and given to Moses, by GOD himself; a Law that is binding (as I there observed) to all Nations of People; a Law that is impossible
