King present:
His Majesty, being seated on the Throne, adorned with His Crown and Regal Ornaments, and attended with His Officers of State; the Prince of Wales
and the Duke of Cumberland (in their Robes) sitting in
their respective Places (the Lords being also in their
Robes); commanded the Gentleman Usher of the Black
Rod to let the Commons know, "It is His Majesty's
Pleasure, that they attend Him immediately, in this
House."
Who being come, with their Speaker;
His Majesty spake as follows:
His Majesty's Speech.
"My Lords, and Gentlemen,
"The present important Conjuncture of Affairs will,
I am persuaded, be thought a sufficient Reason for
calling you thus early together.
"I have, in Pursuance of the repeated Advice of My
Parliament, taken such a Part as appeared to Me
most conducive to the Support of the House of
Austria, and to the restoring and securing of the Balance of Power. In this View, I ordered a considerable Body of Troops to be sent from hence into Flanders; and at the Close of the last Session I foresaw,
and pointed out to you, that it might be incumbent
upon Me to enter into further Measures for the same
great and desirable Ends. The Augmentation of our
Strength in The Low Countries became a necessary
Step; for which Purpose I sent, in Concert with My
Allies, Sixteen Thousand of My Electoral Troops
thither, with the Hessians in the British Pay; in
order to form such a Force, in Conjunction with the
Austrian Troops, as might be of Service to the common Cause in all Events. And I doubt not but I
shall have your Assistance in the Support of these necessary Measures.
"The Magnanimity and Firmness of the Queen
of Hungary, notwithstanding so many numerous
Armies sent against Her; the resolute Conduct of the
King of Sardinia, and His strict Adherence to His
Engagements, though attacked in His own Dominions;
the Stop which has been hitherto put to the ambitious Designs of the Court of Spain in Italy (to
which the Operations of My Fleet in The Mediterranean have so visibly contributed); the Change of
Affairs in the North, which has appeared by the
public Requisition made by Sweeden of My good
Offices for procuring a Peace between Russia and
that Crown; and the defensive Alliances agreed upon,
not only between Me and the Czarina, but also between Me and the King of Prussia, are Events which
could not have been expected, if Great Britain had
not shewn a seasonable Spirit and Vigour in the Defence and Assistance of its ancient Allies, and in the
Maintenance of the Liberties of Europe, as well as of
its own true and lasting Interest.
"Gentlemen of the House of Commons,
"I have ordered the proper Estimates for the Service of the ensuing Year to be prepared and laid
before you; and also an Accompt of the Expence of
those particular Services which I have already mentioned; and which you will find to have been concerted in as frugal a Manner as the Nature of them
would admit. I am persuaded, that you will readily
grant Me such Supplies as shall be found necessary
for the Security and Welfare of the Nation, requisite
for the Support of the common Cause, and adequate
to the present Emergency.
"My Lords, and Gentlemen,
"The Importance of your Deliberations at this Time
is so evident, that I will say nothing to enforce it.
The Honour and Interest of My Crown and Kingdoms, the Success of the War wherein I am engaged
against Spain, and the Re-establishment of the Balance
and Tranquillity of Europe, will greatly depend on the
Prudence and Vigour of your Resolutions. Let it be
your Care, to avoid every Thing that may either delay
or weaken them; and to convince the World that
you are determined to make a right Use of the present
Opportunity."
The Speech being ended; His Majesty was pleased
to retire; and the Commons withdrew.
PRAYERS.
V. Townshend and the Bp. of Exeter sworn.
Charles Lord Viscount Townshend and Nicholas Lord
Bishop of Exeter took the Oaths, and made and subscribed the Declaration, and also took and subscribed
the Oath of Abjuration, pursuant to the Statutes.
Select Vestries to regulate, Bill.
Hodie 1a vice lecta est Billa, intituled, "An Act
for the better regulating Select Vestries."
Speech reported.
The Lord Chancellor reported His Majesty's Speech.
And the same being read, by the Clerk:
Proposition for an Address:
It was proposed, "To resolve, That an humble
Address be presented to His Majesty, to return Him
the Thanks of this House, for His most Gracious
Speech from the Throne.
"To declare our just Sense of His Majesty's great
Care and Vigilance, for the Support of the House of
Austria, and for restoring and securing the Balance of
Power.
"To acknowledge His Majesty's great Wisdom and
Attention to the public Welfare, in sending so considerable a Body of His Forces into The Low Countries, and in strengthening them with His Electoral
Troops and the Hessians in the British Pay; and
thereby forming such an Army as may defend and
encourage those Powers who are well intentioned,
and give a real Assistance to the Queen of Hungary:
And to assure His Majesty of the Concurrence and
Support of this House, in this necessary Measure.
"To express our Satisfaction in the good Effects
which the Vigour exerted by Great Britain, in assisting its ancient Allies, and maintaining the Liberties
of Europe, hath already had on the Affairs of the
Queen of Hungary, and the Conduct of several
Powers; and our Hopes that a steady Perseverance in
the same Measures will inspire the like Spirit and Resolution into other Powers, equally engaged by Treaties and common Interest to take the like Part.
"To give His Majesty the strongest Assurances, that
this House has the Honour and Safety of His Majesty, the true Interest and Prosperity of His Kingdoms, the Security and Advancement of their Commerce, the Success of the War against Spain, and
the Re-establishment of the Balance and Tranquillity
of Europe, entirely at Heart; that these shall be the
great and constant Objects of our Proceedings and
Resolutions, this House being determined to support
His Majesty in all just and necessary Measures for
attaining those great and desirable Ends, and to stand
by and defend His Majesty against all His Enemies."
And a Question being stated thereupon:
Additional Proposition.
It was proposed, "To add, at the End thereof, these
Words; (videlicet,) ["And humbly to assure His
Majesty, that we will apply our constant and persevering Endeavours to calm and heal all Animosities
and Divisions, unseasonable as they are at all Times,
and most pernicious in the present Juncture, which
the true Fatherly Tenderness of His Majesty, out of
the Abundance of His constant Care for the Rights
and Liberties of His People, has so affectionately, at
the Close of last Session, recommended from the
Throne, by searching thoroughly and effectually
into the Grounds which are or may be assigned for
public Discontent, agreeably to the ancient Rules and
Methods of Parliament."
The same was objected to.
And after Debate;
An Order was made, upon the First Proposition.

Then the House was adjourned during Pleasure; and
the Committee withdrew, to draw the Address.
After some Time, the House was resumed.
And the Marquis of Tweeddale reported from the
said Committee, "That they had prepared an Address,
pursuant to the foregoing Order."
And the same, being read by the Clerk, was agreed
to by the House; and is as follows; (videlicet,)
Address.
"Most Gracious Sovereign,
"We, Your Majesty's most dutiful and loyal Subjects, the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament
assembled, beg Leave to return Your Majesty our
sincere and humble Thanks, for Your most Gracious
Speech from the Throne.
"The Support of the House of Austria, and the restoring and securing the Balance of Power, are of so
great Moment, as well to the essential Interests of this
Nation in particular, as to the Liberties of Europe in
general, that we esteem it our peculiar Felicity, in
this critical and dangerous Conjuncture, to have a
Prince upon the Throne, who not only shews the
most Gracious Regard to the Advice of His Parliament upon this important Subject, but takes all Opportunities to confirm and animate them in the Pursuit
of it. We acknowledge, with Hearts full of Gratitude, Your Majesty's Royal Wisdom and effectual
Care in carrying on this great Work; which has appeared in nothing more than in sending so considerable a Body of Your Forces into The Low Countries,
and in strengthening them afterwards with Your Electoral Troops and the Hessians in the British Pay.
By this Step, so honourable to Your Majesty, and
so advantageous to Your Allies, Your Majesty has
demonstrated that You prefer this glorious Cause to
all other Considerations; and has formed such an
Army as may at once defend and encourage those
Powers who are well-intentioned, and give a real
Assistance to the Queen of Hungary. And we beg
Leave to assure Your Majesty of our chearful and
zealous Concurrence and Support in this necessary
Measure.
"The good Effects which the Vigour exerted by
Great Britain, under Your Majesty's Authority and
Influence, in assisting its ancient Allies, and maintaining the Liberties of Europe, hath already had
upon the Affairs of the Queen of Hungary, upon the
Conduct of several Powers, and the State of Europe
in general, are visible to all the World: It is with the
utmost Satisfaction we observe them; and rely on
Your Majesty's known Care and Attention to the
public Welfare, to pursue and improve them. And
we cannot but entertain well grounded Hopes, that
so great an Example, and a steady Perseverance in
the same Measures, will inspire the like Spirit and
Resolution into other Powers, equally engaged by Treaties and common Interest to take the like Part.
"Your Majesty has laid before us so just a Representation of the Importance of our Deliberations at
this Time, as cannot fail to make an Impression upon
all true Lovers of their Country, equal to the Dignity
and Weight of it. Permit us, on our Parts, to give
Your Majesty the strongest Assurances, that we have
the Honour and Safety of Your Majesty, the true
Interest and Prosperity of Your Kingdoms, the Security and Advancement of their Commerce, the Success of the War against Spain, and the Re-establishment of the Balance and Tranquillity of Europe, entirely at Heart. These shall be the constant Objects
of our Proceedings and Resolutions, from which we
will never depart; being firmly determined to support
Your Majesty in all just and necessary Measures for
attaining those great and desirable Ends, and to stand
by and defend Your Majesty and Your Government
against all Your Enemies."
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 He
will please to appoint to be attended therewith.
