PRAYERS.
King present.
His Majesty ascended His Throne, being adorned
with His Royal Crown and Robes (the Peers being
likewise in their Robes), commanded the Gentleman
Usher of the Black Rod to give Notice to the House of
Commons, "That they attend His Majesty presently,
with their Speaker."
Who being come, His Majesty made the Speech
following:
King'sSpeech.
"My Lords and Gentlemen,
"I am very glad to meet you again in Parliament,
where I have an Opportunity of thanking you for
the great Supplies you have given Me for the Prosecution of this War: And I hope, by your Advice
and Assistance, which has never failed Me, to take
such Measures as may be most proper for supporting
our common Interest, against the excessive Power of
France.
"We have great Reason to rejoice in the happy
Victory, which, by the Blessing of God, we obtained
at Sea: And I wish I could tell you that the Success
at Land had been answerable to it. I am sure, My
own Subjects had so remarkable a Part in both, that
their Bravery and Courage must ever be remembered
to their Honour.
"The French are repairing their Losses at Sea with
great Diligence, and do design to augment their Land
Forces considerably against the next Campaign; which
makes it absolutely necessary for our Safety, that at
least as great a Force be maintained at Sea and Land
as we had the last Year: And therefore I must ask of
you, Gentlemen of the House of Commons, a Supply suitable to so great an Occasion.
"I am very sensible how heavy this Charge is upon
My People; and it extremely afflicts Me, that it is
not possible to be avoided without exposing ourselves
to inevitable Ruin and Destruction: The Inconvenience of sending out of the Kingdom great Sums of
Money for the Payment of the Troops Abroad is
indeed very considerable; and I so much wish it could
be remedied, that, if you can suggest to Me any Methods for the Support of them, which may lessen this
Inconvenience, I shall be ready to receive them with
all the Satisfaction imaginable.
"My Lords and Gentlemen,
"None can desire more than I do that a Descent
should be made into France; and therefore, notwithstanding the Disappointment of that Design this last
Summer, I intend to attempt it the next Year with
a much more considerable Force; and, so soon as I
shall be enabled, all possible Care and Application
shall be used towards it.
"And, upon this Occasion, I cannot omit taking
Notice of that signal Deliverance, which, by the
good Providence of God, we received the last Spring,
to the Disappointment and Confusion of our Enemies Designs and Expectations. This has sufficiently
shewn us, how much we are exposed to the Attempts
of France, while that King is in a Condition to make
them. Let us, therefore, improve the Advantage
we have at this Time, of being joined with most of
the Princes and States of Europe against so dangerous
an Enemy. In this, surely, all Men will agree, who
have any Love for their Country, or any Zeal for
our Religion. I cannot therefore doubt but you
will continue to support Me in this War against the
declared Enemy of this Nation; and that you will
give as speedy Dispatch to the Affairs before you as
the Nature and Importance of them will admit, that
our Preparations may be timely and effectual for the
Preservation of all that is dear and valuable to us.
"I am sure, I can have no Interest but what is yours.
We have the same Religion to defend; and you cannot be more concerned for the Preservation of your
Liberties and Properties than I am that you should
always remain in the full Possession and Enjoyment of
them; for I have no Aim but to make you a happy
People.
"Hitherto I have never spared to expose My own
Person for the Good and Welfare of this Nation; and
I am so sensible of your good Affections to Me, that
I shall continue to do so with great Chearfulness upon
all Occasions, wherein I may contribute to the Honour
and Advantage of England."
Which being ended, His Majesty withdrew, and the
Commons went to their House.
