2. If any man shall offer to run away or keep and secret from the company, he shall be marooned, with one bottle of powder, one bottle of water, one small arm and shot.

Rules
1. 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 make it necessary for the good of all to vote a retrenchment.
2. If they have defrauded the Company to the value of a dollar, in plate, jewels or money, marooning was the punishment. If robbery was only between one another they contented themselves with slitting the ears and nose of him that was guilty, and set him on shore, not in an inhabited place but somewhere he was sure to encounter hardships.
3. No person to game at cards or dice for money.
4. 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 to drinking, they were to do so on the open deck.
5. To keep their piece, pistols and cutlass clean and fit for service.
6. No boy or woman to be allowed among them. If any man were found seducing any of the latter sex, and carried her to sea disguised, he was to suffer Death.
7. To desert the ship or their quarters in battle was punished by Death or Marooning.
8. No striking another on board, but every man's quarrels to be ended on shore, at sword and pistol.
9. No man to talk of breaking up their way of living till each had a share of 1000 pounds. If in order to do this, any man shall lose a limb or become a cripple in service, he was to have 800 dollars out of the public stock, and for lesser hurts proportionately.
10. The musicians to have rest on the Sabbath day, but the other six days and nights none, without special favour.
