which_o must_v agree_v and_o live_v in_o a_o wholesome_a concord_n together_o the_o captain_n be_v careful_a as_o near_o as_o in_o he_o lie_v to_o keep_v his_o company_n strong_a and_o according_a to_o covenant_n and_o the_o muster-master_n abide_v a_o considerate_a man_n free_a from_o corruption_n neither_o stand_v too_o punctual_o on_o small_a trifle_n nor_o yet_o so_o wilful_o blind_a as_o
