First sentence: BEING provided of all things necessary for so long a voyage, with leave taken of the governor, and others of the committees, we departed from Gravesend the twenty-fifth of March, being Sunday at night, and the Tuesday following came to the Downs, where the general, before we came to an anchor, gave order to the purser to call the company, and take their names-which being done, there was found forty men lacking of the copelment [complement] of our ship, so that we were forced thereby to come to anchor to tarry for them.
