His Writ of Summons was also read, as follows:

We, strictly enjoining, command you, under the Faith

Seal and the Lord Chamberlain on his Left; commanded the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod to let the
Commons know, "That the Lords Commissioners desire
their immediate Attendance in this House, to hear his

Who being come, with their Speaker;
The Lord Keeper said,
"My Lords, and Gentlemen,

"Witness Ourself, at Westminster, the Twelfth Day
of November, in the Thirty-third Year of Our
Reign.
"By the King Himself, signed with His own
Hand.
"Yorke and Yorke."
Which done, the Lord Keeper said,
Lords Commissioners Speech.
"My Lords, and Gentlemen,
"In Pursuance of the Authority given to us, by His
Majesty's Commission under the Great Seal, amongst
other Things, to declare the Cause of His holding
this Parliament; His Majesty has been graciously
pleased to direct us to assure you, that He esteems
Himself particularly happy, in being able to call you
together in a Situation of Affairs so glorious and advantageous to His Crown and Kingdoms.
"His Majesty sees, and devoutly adores, the Hand
of Providence, in the many signal Successes, both by
Sea and Land, with which His Arms have been
blessed in the Course of the last Summer; and, at
the same Time, His Majesty reflects with much Satisfaction on the Considence which you placed in
Him, by making such ample Provisions, and entrusting Him with such extensive Powers, for carrying on
a War, which the Defence of our valuable Rights
and Possessions, and the Preservation of the Navigation and Commerce of His Majesty's People, had made
both just and necessary.
"We have it also in Command from His Majesty to
acquaint you, that the happy Progress of our Successes, from the Taking of Goree on the Coast of Africa,
to the Conquest of so many important Places in America, with the Defeat of the French Army in Canada,
and the Reduction of their capital City of Quebec, effected with so much Honour to the Courage and
Conduct of His Majesty's Officers both at Sea and
Land, and with so great Lustre to His intrepid Forces,
together with the important Success obtained by His
Majesty's Fleet off Cape Lagos, and the effectual
blocking up for so many Months the principal
Part of the Navy of France in their own Ports, are
Events which must have filled the Hearts of all His
Majesty's faithful Subjects, as well as His Own, with
the sincerest Joy, and, His Majesty trusts, will convince you, that there has been no Want of Vigilance
or Vigour on His Part, in exerting those Means which
you, with so much Prudence and publick-spirited
Zeal, put into His Majesty's Hands.
"That our Advantages have extended farther, and
the Divine Blessing has favoured us in The East Indies,
where the dangerous Designs of His Majesty's Enemies have miscarried, and that valuable Branch of our
Trade has received great Benefit and Protection.
"That the memorable Victory gained over the French
near Minden has long made a deep Impression on the
Minds of His Majesty's People; and that, if the
Crisis in which that Battle was fought, the superior
Numbers of the Enemy, and the great and able Conduct of His Majesty's General Prince Ferdinand of
Brunswick, are considered, that Action must be the
Subject of lasting Admiration and Thankfulness.
"That, if any Thing could fill the Breasts of His
Majesty's good Subjects with still farther Degrees of
Exultation, it is the distinguished and unbroken
Valour of His Majesty's Troops, owned and applauded by those whom they overcame. The Glory they
have gained is not merely their own; but, in a National View, is one of the most important Circumstances of our Success, as it must be a striking Admonition to our Enemies with whom they have to contend.
"That His Majesty's good Brother and Ally the
King of Prussia; attacked and surrounded by so many
considerable Powers, has, by His Magnanimity and
Abilities, and the Bravery of His Troops, been able,
in a surprizing Manner, to prevent the Mischiefs concerted with such united Force against Him.
"His Majesty has further commanded us to observe
to you, that, as His Majesty entered into this War not
from Views of Ambition, so He does not wish to
continue it from Motives of Resentment. The Desire of His Majesty's Heart is, to see a Stop put to
the Effusion of Christian Blood. Whenever such Terms
of Peace can be established as shall be just and honourable for His Majesty and His Allies, and, by
procuring such Advantages as from the Successes of
His Majesty's Arms may in Reason and Equity be expected, shall bring along with them full Security for
the future; His Majesty will rejoice to see the Repose
of Europe restored on such solid and durable Foundations, and His faithful Subjects, to whose liberal
Support and unshaken Firmness His Majesty owes
so much, happy in the Enjoyment of the Blessings of Peace and Tranquillity. But, in order to this
great and desirable End, His Majesty is confident, you
will agree with Him, that it is necessary to make ample Provision for carrying on the War in all Parts
with the utmost Vigour.
"Gentlemen of the House of Commons,
"We are commanded by His Majesty to assure you,
that the great Supplies which were given the last
Session have been faithfully employed for the Purposes for which they were granted. But the uncommon Extent of this War, and the various Services
necessary to be provided for, in order to secure Success to His Majesty's Measures, have unavoidably occasioned extraordinary Expenses; an Accompt of
which will be laid before you.
"His Majesty has also ordered the proper Estimates
for the Service of the ensuing Year to be prepared
and laid before you: And His Majesty desires you to
grant Him such Supplies as shall be necessary to sustain and press with Effect all our extensive Operations
against the Enemy; and, at the same Time, by the
Blessing of God, to repel and frustrate their daring
Designs against His Majesty's Kingdoms.
"My Lords, and Gentlemen,
"His Majesty has, in the last Place, been graciously
pleased to command us to repeat to you the Assurances of the high Satisfaction His Majesty takes in
that Union and good Harmony which is so conspicuous amongst His faithful Subjects; happy in seeing
it continued and confirmed: And to observe to you,
that Experience has shewn how much we all owe to
it, and that nothing else can effectually secure the
true Happiness of His People."
Then the Commons withdrew.
And the House was adjourned during Pleasure, to
unrobe.
The House was resumed.

And the same being afterwards read by the Clerk:
Order for an Address.
Ordered, That an humble Address be presented to
His Majesty, "To offer our most dutiful and sincere
Congratulations to His Majesty, upon the signal Successes with which it has pleased Almighty God to
prosper His Majesty's unwearied Endeavours for the
Safety, Welfare, and Honour, of His People.
"To acknowledge, with all Thankfulness and Humility, the Goodness of the Divine Providence, in the
many glorious Events which will for ever distinguish
this memorable Year.
"To declare our firm Reliance on, and Experience of,
His Majesty's constant Regard and Attention to the
true Interests of His Subjects, in the prudent Use of
all the extensive Powers with which the Confidence
of Parliament has strengthened His Majesty's Hands.
"To acknowledge with Gratitude the Wisdom of
His Majesty's Measures, in pursuing, with equal Vigilance and Vigour, the various Operations of this
just and necessary War; the Success of which, in the
different Parts of the World, so beneficial to the
Commerce of this Nation, and so essential to the common Cause of His Majesty and His Allies, cannot but
fill our Hearts with the utmost Joy.
"To declare our high Opinion of the great and
able Conduct of His Majesty's General Prince Ferdinand of Brunswick; and the Satisfaction we have received from the Reputation, as well as Advantages,
which the Nation has acquired by the distinguished
Behaviour of His Majesty's Officers both at Sea
and Land, and the acknowledged Bravery of His
Troops.
"To express our just Sense of the Magnanimity and
Abilities of the King of Prussia, which have, in a
surprizing Manner, prevented the mischievous Effects
of the united Force of so many considerable Powers
by which He has been attacked and surrounded.
"To testify the highest Approbation of His Majesty's Moderation and true Greatness of Mind, in
restraining every Impulse of Resentment, and desiring
to prevent the farther Effusion of Christian Blood, by
putting an End to the War (into which His Majesty
entered, not from Views of Ambition, but solely for
the Defence of the valuable Rights, Possessions, and
Commercial Interests of His Kingdoms) as soon as
such Terms of Peace can be established as shall be
just and honourable for His Majesty and His Allies,
and, by procuring such Advantages as from the Successes of His Majesty's Arms may in Reason and Equity
be expected, shall bring with them full Security for
the future.
"To give His Majesty the warmest Assurances, that,
in order to this great and desirable End, we will
effectually support His Majesty in carrying on the
War in all Parts with the utmost Vigour, and in
disappointing and repelling any desperate Attempts
which may be made upon His Kingdoms; and that
we will, with all Duty and Affection to His Majesty,
His Royal Family and Government, promote the
Continuance of that Union and Harmony which is so
conspicuous amongst His faithful Subjects, and is so
highly conducive to their own Happiness, and to the
frustrating the Designs of His Majesty's Enemies."

After some Time, the House was resumed.
Address reported.
And the Earl of Buckinghamshire reported from the
Committee an Address drawn by them, as follows:
videlicet,
"Most Gracious Sovereign,
"We, Your Majesty's most dutiful and loyal Subjects, the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament
assembled, beg Leave to approach Your Majesty,
with the warmest Sentiments of Duty, and with
Hearts full of the most sincere Joy, to congratulate
Your Majesty, upon the great and signal Successes
with which it has pleased Almighty God to prosper Your Majesty's unwearied Endeavours for the
Safety, Welfare, and Honour, of Your People.
"We acknowledge with all Thankfulness and Humility the Goodness of the Divine Providence, in the
many glorious Events which will for ever distinguish
this memorable Year.
"We entirely rely upon Your Majesty's constant
Regard and Attention to the true Interests of Your
Subjects, from the full Experience which we have
had of the wise and effectual Use which Your Majesty
has made of all the extensive Powers with which the
Confidence of Parliament has from Time to Time
strengthened Your Majesty's Hands. But we must,
in a particular Manner, gratefully acknowledge the
extraordinary Vigilance, Vigour, and Wisdom of
Your Majesty's Measures, in the steady and succefsful
Direction of so many various Operations in different
Parts of the World.
"The happy Progress of Your Majesty's Arms, from
the Taking of Goree on the Coast of Africa, and some
of the French Sugar Islands in The West Indies, to the
Acquisition of many important Places in America, and
the Defeat of the Enemy's Army in Canada, with the
Reduction of the Capital City of Quebec; against the
greatest Disadvantage of Situation and Numbers, has
exceeded the most sanguine Hopes of Your Majesty's
faithful Subjects: Nor has the good Effect of Your
Majesty's prudent Measures been less conspicuous,
in the Disappointment of the dangerous Designs of
Your Enemies in The East Indies, in the effectual
blocking up the principal Part of the French Fleet in
their own Ports, and the important Advantage
gained off Cape Lagos; while Your Majesty's Care
has preserved Your own Kingdoms from any hostile
Attempt, and has protected the Navigation and Commerce of Your own Subjects in almost as full a Security as during the Time of profound Peace.
"The memorable Victory gained over the French
near Minden cannot but make a deep and lasting Impression upon every British Mind.
"Whether we consider the great and able Conduct
of Your Majesty's General Prince Ferdinand of Branswick, the Valour of Your Majesty's Troops, the Inequality of Force, or the imminent Peril of that important Crisis; the happy Deliverance wrought by
that Action, and the glorious Consequences of it,
must ever be the Subject of our Praise and Thankfulness.
"It is Matter of just Exultation to us, that the British Officers and Private Men, both by Sea and Land,
have given so many shining Instances of personal
Bravery and military Conduct: Their Example will
animate others; their Reputation is National Strength,
and will convince the Enemy what they have to apprehend from a brave and gallant People, fired with
Zeal in Defence of their King and Country.
"We beg Leave to express the high Sense we have
of the Magnanimity and transcendent Abilities of the
King of Prussia; which have, in a surprizing Manner,
prevented the mischievous Effects of the united Force
of so many considerable Powers, by which He has
been attacked and surrounded on all Sides, against
whom He has borne up and supported Himself by the
Fortitude and inexhaustible Resources of His Own
Mind, and the Courage and Discipline of His
Troops.
"Permit us to declare, how highly we appland Your
Majesty's Moderation and true Greatness of Mind,
in restraining every Impulse of Resentment, and desiring to prevent the farther Essusion of Christian
Blood, by putting an End to the War (into which
Your Majesty entered, not from Views of Ambition,
but solely for the Defence of the valuable Rights,
Possessions, and Commercial Interests of Your Kingdoms) as soon as such Terms of Peace can be established as shall be just and honourable for Your Majesty and Your Allies; and, by procuring such Advantages as from the Successes of Your Majesty's
Arms may in Reason and Equity be expected,
shall bring with them full Security for the future.
"In order to the Attainment of this great and desirable End, we beg Leave to assure Your Majesty of
our utmost Readiness to concur in the effectual
Support of such farther Measures as Your Majesty
in Your great Wisdom shall judge necessary, or expedient, for carrying on the War with Vigour in all
Parts; and for disappointing and repelling any desperate Attempts which may be made upon these
Kingdoms.
"Our Prayers are sincere and servent, for the Prolongation of Your Majesty's most precious Life,
Our Endeavours shall never be wanting, to continue
and confirm that Affection to Your Majesty's Sacred
Person, that Confidence in Your Government, that
Zeal for the Protestant Succession in Your Royal Family, and that Union and Harmony so conspieuous
amongst all Your Subjects, which is so essential to their
own Security and Happiness, and to the frustrating
the Designs of Your Majesty's Enemies."
Which Address, being read by the Clerk, was agreed
to by the House.
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 His
Majesty will please to appoint to be attended therewith.

Ordered, That the Lord Bishop of Worcester be,
and he is hereby, desired to preach before this House,
in the Abbey Church, Westminster, on Thursday the 29th
Day of this Instant November, being appointed, by His
Majesty's Royal Proclamation, to be observed as a Day
of General Thanksgiving to Almighty God, for the
signal Successes of His Majesty's Arms both by Sea and
Land.
