The House was adjourned during Pleasure, and put into a Committee, to consider further of His Majesty's Speech.

And, after a long Time spent therein, the House was resumed.

Resolution of retaining the Dutch Guards, as far as is consistent with the Forms of Parliament:

And the Earl of Bridgewater reported, "That, upon Consideration of His Majesty's Speech, as a particular Mark of their Respect and Duty to His Majesty, this Committee hath thought fit to declare, that they are ready and willing to enter into any Expedient, that shall be thought proper, and consisting with the Forms of Parliament, for retaining near His Majesty for the Year One Thousand Six Hundred Ninety-nine, those Guards who came over with His Majesty, to our Assistance, and have constantly attended Him in all the Actions wherein He has been engaged."
