From the 1698 Book of Prayer and Faith found in the chapel of the Plymouth Colony:
"Verily when thou shalt assemble on the fortnight, thou shalt collectest the menfolk and thy fairer womenfolk, seperating them thus to the left and to the right, and upon the table nearest thy altar unto the Lord, thou shalt place the receptacle. And thou shalt betwirl it thusly about and about until its contents being so thoroughly mixed that thy canst be considered to cheat or thwart that of gracious and noble performance. And thou shalt reacheth within thy receptacle and withdraw from within one of several numbered and lettered orbs, and thus shall you calleth the number and letter upon the orb that thy flock mayest marketh it upon their cartes in hopes to assemble thereof a line thus vertical or thus horizontal or thus upon the saltire.
When thou hast achieved a line of five, notwithstanding the section thou mayest mark at no tariff in the center, thou shalt call out the word 'Bingo!' and find thyself verily in winnance of the prize for the evening, be it a new broom of wicker or a gear upon which you may place your whetstone."
