"We, Your Majesty's most dutiful and loyal Subjects, the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament
assembled, beg Leave, with Hearts full of the most
unfeigned Joy, to congratulate Your Majesty on the
happy Success with which it has pleased Almighty
God to bless Your Arms against the Rebels.
"When we consider the Value and, Extent of that
Happiness which this execrable Rebellion was formed
to take from us; our Holy Religion, our Laws and
Liberties, and, the great Support of them all, Your
Majesty's mild and gracious Government, and the
Protestant Succession in Your Royal House; when,
on the other Hand, we consider the insupportable
Miseries designed, by the wicked Authors of this detestable Scheme, to be brought upon this Nation;
our Thankfulness to Heaven and the Transports we
feel in our Breasts on this Occasion, are raised beyond the Power of Words to express:
"The just and wise Use which Your Majesty has
made of those necessary Measures, which were taken,
to strengthen Your Hands in this Conjuncture, for
the Defence of Your Majesty's Crown, and the Protection of Your People, demands all the Returns of
Gratitude, Zeal, and Affection, which the most faithful Subjects can pay to the Best of Kings; and the
unprovoked Treason and Perfidy with which this
Rebellion has been begun and obstinately carried on,
as well as the many Calamities this Nation has suffered from it, call for exemplary Justice against those
Disturbers of our Peace.
"It is with the greatest Pleasure and Admiration we
behold in how eminent a Manner this signal Victory
has been owing to the Valour and Conduct of his
Royal Highness the Duke: If any Thing can add to
our Joy on such an Event, it is to see a Prince of
Your Majesty's Blood, formed by Your Example and
imitating Your Virtues, the glorious Instrument of it;
and happy should we be in any Opportunity of testifying the high Sense we have of such illustrious
Merit.
"The Bravery, Fidelity, and Firmness, by which
the Officers and Soldiers of Your Majesty's Army
have distinguished themselves, on this Occasion, give
us the utmost Satisfaction; and will, we doubt not,
convince Your Enemies, how much they have to fear
from such Troops, led on by such a Commander.
"May the Divine Providence continue to preserve
Your Majesty's precious Life, and to prosper Your
Councils and Arms with Success: And permit us, in
the most solemn Manner, to renew the strongest Assurances to Your Majesty, of our most zealous and
vigorous Support and Assistance, entirely to extinguish
this Rebellion, absolutely to crush this last desperate
Effort of a Popish abjured Pretender, and to improve
the Consequences of it, to add Stability to Your
Throne!"
Ordered, That the said Address be presented to
His Majesty by the whole House.
Ordered, That the Lords with White Staves do
wait on His Majesty, humbly to know what Time He
will be pleased to appoint to be attended therewith.
Thanks of the House to the Duke of Cumberland.
"Moved, "To resolve, That the Thanks of this House
be given to his Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland, for the great and eminent Services performed
by him to his Majesty and His Kingdoms against the
Rebels; and that his Royal Highness be assured of
the just Sense which this House has, in how distinguished a Manner the late Victory was owing to his
Valour and Conduct; and to his indefatigable Zeal,
Activity, and Labours, in the Cause of his Royal
Father and of his Country; and of our ardent Wishes
that his Royal Highness may have the Glory entirely
to complete the great Work which he has so successfully begun and carried on."
And the same was agreed to.

this Resolution to his Royal Highness the Duke.
