I. The fund of all payments under the articles is the stock of what is gotten by the expedition, following the same law as other pirates, that is, No prey, no pay. II. Every man has a vote in affairs of moment; has equal title to the fresh provisions, or strong liquors, at any time seized, and may use them at pleasure, unless a scarcity makes it necessary, for the good of all, to vote a retrenchment. III. Every person to be called fairly in turn, by list, on board of prizes because, (over and above their proper share) they were on these occasions allowed a shift of clothes: but if they defrauded the company to the value of a silver piece in plate, jewels, or coin, marooning is their punishment. If the robbery is only betwixt one another, the slitting of the ears and nose of him that is guilty will suffice, and set him on shore, not in an uninhabited place, but somewhere, where they be sure to encounter hardships. IV. No person to game at cards or dice for money aboard any ship at sea. V. The lights and candles to be put out at eight o’clock at night: if any of the crew, after that hour still remained inclined for drinking, they were to do it on the open deck.

In the prizes they take, it is severely prohibited to every one to usurp anything, in particular to themselves.

No striking one another on board, but every man’s quarrels to be ended on shore, at sword or dagger. (The quarter-master of the ship, when the parties will not come to any reconciliation, accompanies them on shore with what assistance he thinks proper. He who draws the first blood is declared victor.) X. No man to talk of breaking up their way of living, till each had shared one thousand gold pieces in booty. If in order to this, any man should lose a limb, or become a cripple in their service, he was to have pension of 1 gold piece per day, out of the public stock, and for lesser hurts, proportionately. XI. The Captain and Quartermaster to receive two shares of a prize: the master, boatswain, and ship’s mage, one share and a half, and other officers one and quarter. XII.
