To the Right Honorable , The Lords and Commons assembled in Parliament : THE HVMBLE PETITION OF The Captains , Officers , and Souldiers of the Trained Bands , and Voluntiers of the County of BUCKINGHAM , assembled at Alesbury , June 17. 1642. Humbly sheweth ,

THat they give you thanks from the depth of their hearts , for the great and main benefit they have already received , from Your no lesse chargeable then Indefatigable pains ; And in particular , for your necessary Ordinance of the Militia , of which , as we conceive , ( under God ) our safety doth depend ; unto which we most cheerfully submit , as is manifest by this dayes appearance ; not onely of the Trained Bands , but of well neere 1000. Voluntiers , that made all demonstration of obedience , aswell to this , as to all other Commands that shall come from Your Honorable Houses , in opposition to the Popish or Malignant partie at home , or any other power from abroad ; Notwithstanding the main visible discouragements from ill-affected persons , that made it their businesse , to blemish the validity of your Authority ; as also , by the Lord Lieutenants absence , contrary to the Trust reposed in him .

Therefore we humbly implore the continuance of your care for our safety , and to appoint such a Lord Lieutenant in whom we may confide , as surely as you may in us , who are resolved to lay our Lives and Fortunes at your feet , in defence of the King and Parliament .

And we shall pray , &c.
24. JUNII :

ORdered that the Lords be moved to joyn with this House , in nominating the Lord Wharton to be Lord Lieutenant of the County of Buckingham , in stead of the Lord Paget : And that this Petition shall be forthwith printed .
