The Copy of a Letter sent from the Committee at Lincoln , to the House of Commons , directed to the Speaker of the said House , and subscribed with the names of the said Committee . Sir ,

SUch is our earnest desire , to manifest our obedience to the Commands of both Houses , That we cannot omit any opportunity to advertise you of our first dayes proceeding , and successe therein . The Lord Francis Willoughby appointed by the Ordinance of Parliament , to be Lord Lievtenant of this County , had by his Warrant , summoned the chief Constables to attend him yesterday , the last of May , in this place , to give him an account concerning the Arms of the Trained-Bands and Ammunition , within their severall hundreds , and Wapentakes ; which service accordingly they performed with all readinesse and alacrity , even beyond our expectations , there being the fullest apparance of them that we have observed upon any occasion heretofore , so as about fourscore in this great County , not above two or three of them were absent ; Neither did the Kings Proclamation ( published on purpose as we conceive , throughout the County , and which some had officiously fixed upon the Gates of the Inne where we met ; ) nor this inclosed Letter from His Majesty sent to the old ( but as we hear new re-established Deputy Lievtenants , under the Earl of Linsey , who likewise hath a Commission under the broad Seal , for the Lievtenancy of Lincolnshire , as we are informed , any whit deterre , or hinder them . We have already delivered forth Warrants to those head Constables for Musters to be held ( for the more conveniency ) in severall places of this County , at each of which , God willing ) we all of us intend to be assistant , the rather because we understand that our presence here doth not a little comfort and revive the spirits of all honest and well affected persons in this County ; whose forward good examples will ( we doubt not ) be a means to draw the rest to a more ready conformity . In which hopes we are further incouraged by this dayes tryall in the Citie , finding , besides the Trained-Bands thereof , a like number of Volunteers well and compleatly Armed , who are ready to make tender of their Service , for the defence of His Majesties Person , the Parliament , and the Kingdom , according to their late Protestation . These are our first beginnings in your service , which we humbly submit unto you , and so remain
