For Trial of Murders on the Sea, Bill.
Hodie 1a
vice lecta est Billa, "An Act for the Trial
of Murders, where any Person is feloniously stricken,
wounded, or poisoned, upon the High Sea, and dies
thereof in any County of this Realm."
King present.
His Majesty, being on His Throne, adorned with
His Regal Crown and Robes, the Lords being also in
their Robes; the Gentleman Usher had Command to
signify His Majesty's Pleasure, "That they come presently, with their Speaker, to attend Him."
Who, being come, said,
Speaker of H. C. Speech.
"Most Gracious Sovereign,
"We the Knights, Citizens, and Burgesses of the
Commons, assembled in Parliament, do now come in
all Duty to present to Your-Majesty the Revenue
You pleased to demand at the Opening of this Parliament; wherein we proceeded with as much Speed
as the Forms of passing Bills of that Nature would
admit.
"We bring not with it any Bill for the Preservation or Security of our Religion, which is dearer to
us than our Lives: In that, we acquiesce, intirely rely,
and rest wholly satisfied, in Your Majesty's Gracious
and Sacred Word, repeated Declaration and Assurance, to support and defend the Religion of the
Church of England, as it is now by Law established.
"We present this Revenue to Your Majesty, without the Addition of any conditional Appropriating
or Tacking Clauses, &c.; and we humbly beseech
Your Majesty to accept of it; and along with it our
hearty Prayers, that GOD ALMIGHTY would bless
You with a long Life, and happy Reign to enjoy it."
This being ended, the Clerk of the Parliaments received of the Speaker the Bill; and brought it to the
Table, where the Clerk of the Crown read the Title of
the said Bill, in these Words.
King's Revenue Bill passed.
"An Act for settling the Revenue on His Majesty
for His Life, which was settled on His late Majesty
for His Life."
The Royal Assent was pronounced, by the Clerk of
the Parliaments, in these Words,
"Le Roy, remerciant Ses bons Subjects, accepte leur
Benevolence, et ainsi le veult."
Then His Majesty was pleased to make this Gracious
Speech following:
"My Lords and Gentlemen,
King's Speech.
"I thank you very heartily for the Bill you have
presented Me this Day; and I assure you, the Readiness and Cheerfulness that has attended the Dispatch
of it, is as acceptable to Me as the Bill itself. After
so happy a Beginning, you may believe, I would not
call upon you unnecessarily for an extraordinary Supply. But, when I tell you, that the Stores of the
Navy and Ordnance are extremely exhausted; that
the Anticipations upon several Branches of the Revenue are great and burthensome; that the Debts of
the King My Brother to His Servants and Family are
such as deserve Compassion; that the Rebellion in
Scotland, without putting more Weight upon it than
it really deserves, must oblige Me to a considerable
Expence extraordinary; I am sure, such Considerations will move you to give Me an Aid, to provide
for those Things, wherein the Security, the Ease, and
the Happiness of My Government, are so much concerned: But, above all, I must recommend to you the
Care of the Navy, the Strength and Glory of this
Nation, that you will put it into such a Condition,
as may make us considered and respected Abroad.
I cannot express My Concern upon this Occasion more
suitable to My own Thoughts of it, than by assuring
you I have a true English Heart, as jealous of the
Honour of the Nation as you can be. And I please
Myself with the Hopes, that, by GOD'S Blessing and
your Assistance, I may carry the Reputation of it yet
higher in the World, than ever it has been in the
Time of any of My Ancestors. And as I will not call
upon you for Supplies but when they are of public
Use and Advantage; so I promise you, that what
you give Me upon such Occasions shall be managed
with good Husbandry: And I will take Care it shall
be employed to the Uses for which I ask them."
