Another way is to indicate a specific version:

They must upward still, and onward, who would keep abreast of truth;
Lo, before us gleam her camp-fires! we ourselves must Pilgrims be;
Launch our Mayflower, and steer boldly through the desperate winter sea;
Nor attempt the Future's portal with the Past's blood-rusted key.
