IN the name of God, Amen. We set sayle from Copeman-hauen, in Denmarke, the second day of May, in the yeare of our redemption 1605, with two Shippes and a Pinnace: The Admirall, called the Frost, a shippe of the burthen of thirty or fortie lasts, wherein was Captaine and chiefe commander of the whole Fleet, Captaine Iohn Cunningham, a Scottish Gentleman, seruant vnto the Kings Maiestie of Denmarke, myselfe being principall Pilot: The Lyon, Vice-admirall, being about the foresaid burthen, wherein was Captaine, one Godscaio Lindenose, a Danish Gentleman, and Steereman of the same, one Peter Kilson, of Copeman-hauen: The Pinnace, a Barke of the burthen of twelue Lasts, or thereabouts, wherein was Steereman, or Commander, one Iohn Knight, my Countrieman. So, setting sayle from Copeman-hauen, with a faire gale of winde Easterly, wee came vnto Elsonure, where we anchored, to take in our water.

The third day, we tooke in our water; at which time, the Captaines, my selfe, with the Lieutenants and the other Steeremen, did thinke it conuenient to set downe certaine Articles for the better keeping of company one with another; to which Articles or couenants wee were all seuerally sworne, setting thereunto our hands.
