   • 1675, “Poolen, Pruyssen, &c. [Poland, Prussia, &c.]”, in Extraordinaire Haerlemſe Donderdaeghſe Courant, volume 1, page 1:

     Ondertuſſchen is geen preciſen tijdt tot de Krooningh beſtemt; en ſchijnt het, dat deſſelfs vertragingh of verhaaſtingh op den Doroſensko beruſt, alſoo den Coningh hem alvoorens gaerne van de Turcken ſoude ſoecken af te trecken, ende oock daer toe bereyts goede hoop hoeft;

     By now no precise time can be given for the coronation; and it seems that a delay or rush of it is completely dependent on Dorosensko, because the king would be looking to poach him from the Turks, and being ready even for that keeps his hopes up;

     Train 14 of the H.S.M., which should arrive in Amsterdam at 11 h. 20 min., had a 25 minute delay, as the express from Brussels and Paris could not make the connection in time due to a defect in the machinery.
