Having undertaken, for the glory of God and advancement of the Christian faith and honor 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 politic, 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 thereof we have hereunder subscribed our names at Cape Cod on the 11th [old calendar] of November, in the year of the reign of our sovereign Lord, King James of England, France and Ireland the eighteeenth, and of Scotland the fifty-fourth. Ano. Dom. 1620.
