THE copy OF A Letter sent from the Right honourable the Lord PAGET, Lord Lieutenant of the County of BUCKINGHAM, To the Right honourable the Earl of Holland: showing the great readiness of that County, to obey the Ordinance of the Parliament, touching the MILITIA.  
My Lord,  
I Have received so great expressions from my Countrymen of Buckinghamshire, of their good affections to the public, 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 train Band, consisting but of one hundred and fifty men, who made a very good appearance with their arms and supplies, and as full as they have been formerly upon any other summons. Besides these, eight score volunteers 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 volunteers more within this Division, that intend to show 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 public testimony of my countrymens' good affections, for the safety of the King and kingdom, I thought not unfit to make known. And rest  
Your Lops most dutiful son, and humble servant, Will: PAGET. Beckonsfield 23. May. 1642.
