My Lord , I Have received so great expressions from my Countrymen of Buckingham-shire , of their good affections to the Publique , and ready Obedience to the Commands of Parliament , in the present Muster this day begun for a fourth part of this County , that I held it my duty to make your Lordship acquainted therewith , to the end an account may be given of it to the Parliament , if your Lordship shall think fit . Ten of my Deputy Lieutenants met me this morning at Beckonsfield , where we called over the Traine Band , consisting but of one hundred and fifty men , who made a very good appearance with their Armes and supplies , and as full as they have been formerly upon any other summons . Besides these , eight score Voluntiers and upwards within this Division , presented themselves to us very well armed , and exercised in two Companies ; more in number then the Trained Band , summoned to this place . I am also informed of another Company of an hundred and fifty Voluntiers more within this Division , that intend to shew themselves in our way to the next place of meeting , and of another Company of an hundred more , who there intend to meet us , besides the Trained Band . This publique testimony of my Countrymens good affections , for the safety of the King and Kingdome , I thought not unfit to make knowne . And rest Your Lops most dutifull son , and humble servant , VVILL : PAGET . Beckonsfield 23. May . 1642. LONDON , Printed for JOHN BULL , dwelling in Grub-street . 1642.
