His Majesty being present this Day, and sitting in His Royal Throne, adorned with His Regal Ornaments (the Peers sitting in their Robes uncovered), the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod was commanded by His Majesty to let the Commons know, "That it was His Majesty's Pleasure that they come up presently, to attend His Majesty."

Who being come, the Lord Chancellor of England, by Direction of His Majesty, made this short Speech following:

Commons directed to choose a Speaker.

"My Lords; and you the Knights, Citizens, and Burgesses of the House of Commons;

"His Majesty hath commanded me to tell you, that He hath many Things to say to you; but He thinks not this a proper Time, but will defer it till the House of Commons be completed with a new Speaker; for His Majesty hath, since the last Sefsion, as a Mark of His Favour to His House of Commons, and that He might reward so good a Servant, taken their late Speaker Sir Edward Turner to be Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer, and called him by Writ to be an Assistant to this House. I am therefore commanded to acquaint you, Gentlemen of the House of Commons, That it is the King's Pleasure, you repair to your House, and elect a discreet, wise, and learned Man; who, after he hath been by you presented, and that Presentation admitted by His Majesty, shall then possess the Office of your common Mouth and Speaker. And the King is pleased to be here To-morrow in the Afternoon, to receive the Presentment of him accordingly."
