What Administrator could complain about HISTORICAL documents??
Having undertaken, for the Glory of God, and advancements 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 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 whereof we have hereunto subscribed our names at Cape Cod the 11th of November, in the year of the reign of our Sovereign Lord King James, of England, France, and Ireland, the eighteenth, and of Scotland the fifty-fourth, 1620.
Few people realize that they were chartered in Virginia and intending to go there, more or less blundering into Cape Cod. Virginia had established the House Of Burgesses two years previously, so governance was in place and the dire difficulties of the earliest years from 1607 had been surmounted. Of course, the Second Powhatan War was to come two years later in 1622, with many outlying colonists being wiped out. So, maybe it actually was the hand of providence.
