the Loyal Subjects of our dread Sovereign Lord, King James,
by the Grace of God, of England, France and Ireland, King,
Defender of the Faith,.


Having undertaken for the Glory of God, and Advancement of the
Christian Faith, and the Honour of our King and Country, a voyage
to plant the first colony in the northern parts of Virginia; do
by these presents, solemnly and mutually in the Presence of God
and one of another, covenant and combine ourselves together into
a civil Body Politick, for our better Ordering and Preservation,
and Furtherance of the Ends aforesaid; And by Virtue hereof to
enact, constitute, and frame, such just and equal Laws,
Ordinances, Acts, Constitutions and Offices, from time to time,
as shall be thought most meet and convenient for the General good
of the Colony; unto which we promise all due submission and
obedience. 

In Witness whereof we have hereunto subscribed our names at
Cape Cod the eleventh of November, in the Reign of our
Sovereign Lord, King James of England, France and Ireland,
