this Bill should not now pass for the raising of Money
for building Thirty Ships of War, for the Defence
of the Kingdom; if it should be carried by Vote for
leaving out the Amendments in Difference; it is

PRAYERS.
The Lord Privy Seal reported the Address to be presented to His Majesty; which was read, as followeth:
"Most Gracious Sovereign,
Address to the King, about waving the Amendments made by this House to the Supply Bill for building Ships of War.
"We Your Majesty's most loyal and obedient Subjects, the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament
assembled, humbly beg Leave to lay before Your
Majesty, That, having, upon several Conferences
and Free Conferences with the Commons, debated
concerning the Difference in the Bill, intituled, "An
Act for raising the Sum of Five Hundred Eighty-four
Thousand Nine Hundred Seventy-eight Pounds, TwoShillings, and Two Pence Half-penny, for the speedy
building of Thirty Ships of War," in which the
Commons disallow the Amendments offered by this
House; and having given such Reasons to support our
Amendments, as we conceived ought to have convinced them; nevertheless, the Commons remaining unmoveable, have thereby put us upon the extreme
Difficulty, either of shaking our Privileges by withdrawing our said Amendments, or of hazarding the
Safety of the Nation by letting a Bill fall that is so
necessary at this Time; we have, out of our unseigned Duty to Your Majesty and Regard to the Public,
complied with the Commons, though against our
Judgements. And that we may be rightly understood
why we did so, we humbly beg Leave to assure Your
Majesty, That we were moved to it by no other Arguments, than to express our great Duty to Your Majesty, and to comply with the present Necessity in
Point of Time, and out of Tenderness that the Whole
may not suffer by our present insisting upon that
which is our undoubted Right: All which we beseech
Your Majesty graciously to accept from us, as a lasting Testimony of our Zeal to Your Majesty, and the
Kingdom's Service."
To be presented to the King.
ORDERED, That this House agrees to this Address;
and the Lords with the White Staves be, and are hereby, appointed to present the same to His Majesty from
this House.

To acquaint them, that this House agrees to leave
out the Amendments made by this House in the Bill for
raising the Sum of Five Hundred Eighty-four Thousand
Nine Hundred Seventy-eight Pounds, Two Shillings,
and Two Pence Half-penny, for building of Thirty
Ships of War; and to signify, that their Lordships
have agreed to the Amendments in the Bill concerning
the Lady Mary Mordant.
