LETTER X. 
The Mayor and his brethren of Salisbury to Lord Hertford, claiming 
the muster of their own private company of 100 foot. 
Ricut HonovRaB_e, 
We lately received a warrant directed to the Mayor and chief Officers of 
this City, from Sir Thomas Gorges and Sir James Mervin, Knights, two of your 
lordship’s Deputy Lieutenants of this County of Wilts, for the summoning of 
all the trained men within this City, to appear before them with their armour 
and furniture the 26th day of this instant month of September ; and that if any of

as heretofore hath been used, before we further proceed therein, we thought it our 
duties to inform your lordship hereof, and what hath been used heretofore both 
by your lordship and your lordship’s predecessors, that is, that you have been 
pleased to employ and commit the trust of this service unto the Mayor and 
Justices of this City, both for the supply of men and armour, and not to leave 
it to the direction of any other, otherwise than upon shew thereof either to the 
Lord-Lieutenant or to any other by his lordship’s special appointment; and if 
any defaults should be found, then the same to be reformed, either upon notice 
given by them appointed, or by your Lordship-Lieutenant’s letter. This having
