PRAYERS.
King present.
His Majesty, sitting in His Royal Throne, adorned
with his Regal Ornaments, directed the Gentleman
Usher of the Black Rod to give the House of Commons
Notice, that they come up and attend Him presently.
Who being come, His Majesty made a short Speech,
to this Effect following:
His Majesty's Speech.
"My Lords and Gentlemen,
"I have pursued your Advice, and am come hither
to tell you, that, according to your Desires, I have
made a speedy, honourable, and, I hope, a lasting
Peace, signed already.
"Mr. Speaker, and you Gentlemen of the House
of Commons,
"I told you Yesterday in the Banqueting House,
that I would give you a speedy Answer to your Address about disbanding the Forces therein mentioned;
and I do assure you, that before you made your
Address, I had given Orders for the doing of it, as
soon as I should be sure of the Peace; and I shall
reduce them to a less Number than they were in the
Year 1663, and shall give Direction for the March of
those who are to return to Ireland, who were brought
from thence. And as our Forces are lessened at
Land, it will be necessary to build more great Ships;
for we shall not be safe, unless we equal the
Strength of our Neighbours at Sea: Therefore I
shall recommend it to your Care to give Me Means for
the effectual doing thereof. And this is all I have to
say to you at this Time."
