Answer:

first

Step-by-step explanation:

The Mayflower compact was a document signed on a boat on the 11th of November, 1620 by forty-one (41) males of the one hundred and two (102) passengers on board while the boat was anchored in Provincetown Harbor (Cape Cod) due to the effect of turbulent storm. The document derived its name from the English ship known as Mayflower which was heading to Plymouth, Massachusetts due to storms and treacherous shoals rather than its original destination, which was the Colony of Virginia.

The Mayflower compact was a document which established a social contract and "rule of law" in order to make the pilgrims (saints) and non-pilgrims (strangers) remain loyal to King James 1, foster Christianity (Christian faith) and for the overall good of the colony.

However, the original Pilgrims called themselves the "Saints and referred to others who joined with them for the voyage as the 'Strangers."

In this context, "original" means first because it describe the saints as starting the voyage before they were joined by the strangers.
