THE COPY OF A LETTER SENT FROM THE RIGHT honourable, The Lord PAGET, unto the Honourable House of Parliament, declaring the reasons of his departure from them, unto the King's Most Excellent Majesty at York.  
IT may seem strange, that I, who with all zeal and earnestness have prosecuted in the beginning of this Parliament, the Reformation of all disorders in Church, and commonwealth, should now in a time of such great distractions, desert the cause. Most true it is, that my ends were the common good: And whilst that was prosecuted, I was ready to lay down both my life and fortune: But when I found a Preparation of arms against the KING, under the shadow of loyalty, I rather resolved, to obey a good Conscience, then particular ends, and am now on my way to His Majesty, where I will, throw myself down at his feet, and die a loyal Subject.  
PAGET.
