PRAYERS.
The Lord President, by His Majesty's Command, acquainted the House, "That nothing should have hindered
His Majesty from coming to this House, to pass those
Bills that now lie ready for His Majesty's Royal Assent,
but His unfortunate Accident; and at the same Time
His Majesty intended to acquaint this House, from the
Throne, with what He hath now sent by a Message."
Which Message was read by the Lord Keeper, and then
read by the Clerk, as follows; (videlicet,)
King's Message concerning Union between England and Scotland.
"William R.
"His Majesty, being at present hindered by an unhappy Accident from coming in Person to His Parliament, is pleased to signify to the House of Peers by
Message, what He designed to have spoken to both
Houses from the Throne. His Majesty, in the First
Year of His Reign, did acquaint the Parliament, that
Commissioners were authorized in Scotland, to treat with
such Commissioners as should be appointed in England,
of proper Terms for uniting the Two Kingdoms; and
at the same Time expressed His great Desire of such an
Union. His Majesty did also, in a Message of the
Twelfth of February One Thousand Six Hundred
Ninety-nine, to this House, declare His Opinion of
the great Advantages which would arise to both Kingdoms, if they were more nearly and compleatly united.
His Majesty is fully satisfied, that nothing can contribute more to the present and future Peace, Security,
and Happiness, of England and Scotland, than a firm
and entire Union between them; and He cannot but
hope, that, upon a due Consideration of our present
Circumstances, there will be found a general Disposition to this Union. His Majesty would esteem it a peculiar Felicity, if, during His Reign, some happy Expedient
for making both Kingdoms One might take Place;
and is therefore extremely desirous that a Treaty for
that Purpose might be set on Foot, and does in the
most earnest Manner recommend this Affair to the
Consideration of the House."
Lords summoned about it.
His Majesty having this Day sent a Message to this
House, relating to an Union between England and Scotland:
It is ORDERED, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal
in Parliament assembled, That the said Message shall be
taken into Consideration on Tuesday next, at Twelve a
Clock; and all the Lords summoned to attend.
