Address reported:
The Duke of Bolton reported from the Lords Committees appointed to draw an Address, to be presented
to His Majesty, pursuant to an Order of this House
Yesterday, "That they had drawn an Address accordingly, as follows; (videlicet,)
"Most Gracious Sovereign,
"We, Your Majesty's most dutiful and loyal Subjects, the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament
assembled, beg Leave to present to Your Majesty
our most humble and hearty Thanks, for Your Majesty's most Gracious Speech to Your Houses of Parliament; and to assure Your Majesty, that, although
we met together with Hearts deeply sensible of the
Goodness of Divine Providence to us, in bringing
Your Majesty with Safety, and at so critical a Juncture, to the Throne of Your Ancestors, yet we could
not but become still more affected with that inestimable
Blessing, when we heard so very affectionate Expressions from Your Majesty towards Your People; so
clear and full Assurances, from a Prince of such known
Honour and Justice, that the established Constitution
in Church and State shall be the Rule of Your Government; and so just and tender a Concern for our
not having obtained those Advantages by the Peace,
which would have been but a suitable Conclusion to so
glorious and successful a War; nor as yet a due Execution of some Conditions, even of that Peace, essential to the Security and Trade of this Kingdom.
"We are affected with Wonder, as well as with a
just Resentment, that a Pretender to Your Majesty's
Crown should be yet permitted to reside so near Your
Dominions; especially after his public boasting of
an Assistance he expects here, and his avowing a Design to invade this Your Majesty's Kingdom.
"We are but too sensible that our Trade is rendered impracticable in the most valuable Branches of
it, and of the ill Effects that must have upon our
Manufactures and Navigation: But Your Majesty
may be assured, nothing shall be wanting on our
Part, that may any Way conduce to the retrieving it.
"These and other Difficulties Your Majesty hath
met with on Your Accession to the Crown (and which,
we must observe, in Justice to Your Wisdom and
Foresight, would have been prevented had Your
Opinion been followed), we must confess, are very
great and discouraging: However, we do not doubt but
that Your Majesty, assisted by this Parliament, zealous for Your Government, and the Safety and Honour of their Country, may be able to take such further Measures, as will secure what is due to us by
Treaties, ease our Debts, preserve the Public Credit, restore our Trade, extinguish the very Hopes of
the Pretender, and recover the Reputation of this
Kingdom in Foreign Parts; the Loss of which, we
hope to convince the World by our Actions, is by no
Means to be imputed to the Nation in general.
"And these good Ends cannot fail of being obtained,
by Your Majesty's pursuing with Steadiness, as You
have begun, the true Interest of this Your obedient
and affectionate People: And Your Majesty may,
by God's Blessing, depend that, in Conjunction with
so loyal a Parliament, You will be able to lay Foundations that can never be moved, not only of the Security and Glory, but even of the Ease and Tranquillity of Your Government, and that of Your Majesty's Posterity; for which we offer up our most
ardent Prayers, that it may for ever continue to
reign after Your Majesty on the Throne of these
Kingdoms, and in the Hearts of a People truly happy,
and fully sensible of their being so."
Then the same was read by the Clerk entire.
And the Three first Paragraphs, being again read,
were severally agreed to by the House.
Then the Fourth Paragraph being read;
Motion for omitting Words in it.
It was moved, "That at the Close thereof these
Words be left out; (videlicet,) ["And recover the
Reputation of this Kingdom in Foreign Parts; the
Loss of which, we hope to convince the World by
our Actions, is by no Means to be imputed to the Nation in general."]
After Debate;
The Question was put, "Whether those Words
shall stand Part of this Address?"
It was Resolved in the Affirmative.
Ordered, That this be the Address to be presented
to His Majesty.
Ordered, That the said Address be presented to
His Majesty by the whole House.
Ordered, That the Lords with White Staves do
wait on His Majesty, humbly to know what Time His
Majesty will please to appoint to be attended by this
House, with the said Address.
Adjourn.
