Quotation from Of Plymouth Plantation by William Bradford

“solemnly & mutualy in y^e presence of God, and one of another, covenant & combine our selves togeather into a civill body politick, for our better ordering & preservation”

William Bradford (spoken by The Mayflower compact, as Bradford copies it)

Of Plymouth Plantation, The compact of November 1620 (1898 Wright & Potter official manuscript edition)

Bradford preserves the agreement made at Cape Cod in his own spelling, which should be compared with the library’s Mayflower Compact page.
