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 (in his
Robes) sitting in his Place on His Majesty's Right
Hand; the Lords being also in their Robes; the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod received His Majesty's
Commands, 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; (videlicet,)
His Majesty's Speech.
"My Lords, and Gentlemen,
"The open and unnatural Rebellion which has
broke out, and is still continuing, in Scotland, has
obliged Me to call you together sooner than I intended; and I shall lay nothing before you at present,
but what immediately relates to our Security at
Home, reserving all other Considerations to a farther
Opportunity. So wicked and daring an Attempt, in
Favour of a Popish Pretender to My Crown, headed
by his Eldest Son, carried on by Numbers of traiterous and desperate Persons within the Kingdom,
and encouraged by My Enemies Abroad, requires
the immediate Advice and Assistance of My Parliament, to suppress and extinguish it. The Duty and
Affection for Me and My Government, and the vigilant and zealous Care for the Safety of the Nation,
which have with so much Unanimity been shewn by
My faithful Subjects, give Me the firmest Assurance
that you are met together resolved to act with a
Spirit becoming a Time of common Danger, and with
such Vigour as will end in the Confusion of all
those who have engaged in or fomented this Rebellion.
"I have, throughout the whole Course of My
Reign, made the Laws of the Land the Rule of My
Government; and the Preservation of the Constitution in Church and State, and the Rights of My
People, the main End and Aim of all My Actions:
It is therefore the more astonishing, that any of My
Protestant Subjects, who have known and enjoyed
the Benefits resulting from thence, and have heard
of the imminent Dangers these Kingdoms were
wonderfully delivered from by the happy Revolution,
should by any Arts and Management be deluded into
Measures, that must at once destroy their Religion and
Liberties, introduce Popery and Arbitrary Power, and
subject them to a Foreign Yoke.
"Gentlemen of the House of Commons,
"I rely on your Affection to Me, and your Care and
Concern for our common Safety, to grant Me such
a Supply, as may enable Me entirely to extinguish
this Rebellion, effectually to discourage any Foreign
Power from assisting the Rebels, and to restore the
Peace of the Kingdom; for which Purpose, I will
order the proper Estimates to be laid before you.
Amongst the many ill Consequences of this wicked
Attempt, the extraordinary Burthen which it must
bring upon My faithful Subjects very sensibly affects
Me: But let those answer for it, whose Treason has
occasioned it; and My People be convinced what
they owe to those Disturbers of our Peace, who are
endeavouring to make this Kingdom a Scene of
Blood and Confusion.
"My Lords, and Gentlemen,
"The many evident Proofs this Parliament has given,
of their Duty, Fidelity, and Affection to Me, and
of their steady Adherence to the present happy Establishment, and the true Interest of their Country,
make Me repose Myself entirely on the Zeal and
Vigour of your Proceedings and Resolutions. I am
confident, you will act like Men who consider that
every Thing dear and valuable to them is attacked;
and I question not but, by the Blessing of God,
we shall, in a short Time, see this Rebellion end,
not only in restoring the Tranquillity of My Government, but in procuring greater Strength to that excellent Constitution which it was designed to subvert.
The Maxims of this Constitution shall ever be the
Rules of My Conduct. The Interest of Me and My
People is always the same, and inseparable: In this
common Interest let us unite; and all those who shall
heartily and vigorously exert themselves in this just
and national Cause may always depend on My Protection and Favour."
The Speech being ended; His Majesty was pleased
to retire; and the Commons withdrew.
PRAYERS.
L. Maynard takes his Seat.
Charles Lord Maynard sat first in Parliament, after the
Death of his Brother Grey Lord Maynard; his Lordship having, at the Table, taken the Oaths, and made
and subscribed the Declaration, and also taken and subscribed the Oath of Abjuration, pursuant to the
Statutes.
Select Vestries regulating, Bill.
Hodie 1a vice lecta est Billa, intituled, "An Act for
the better regulating Select Vestries."
The King's Speech reported.
The Lord Chancellor reported His Majesty's Speech.
And the same being read by the Clerk:
Order for an Address.
Ordered, 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; and to congratulate His Majesty on His
happy Return into this Kingdom.
"To express our utmost Detestation and Abhorrence of the unnatural Rebellion which has broke
out, and is still carrying on, in Scotland; and to assure
His Majesty, that this traiterous and desperate Attempt shall have no other Effect upon our Minds,
but to excite in us such a Spirit of Resolution and
Unanimity, as, by the Divine Assistance, may not
only suppress this Rebellion, but confound and extinguish for ever all future Hopes of the Pretender
and his Adherents.
"To thank His Majesty for His gracious Approbation of those Proofs of Loyalty and Affection
which have been already shewn by His faithful Subjects; and to beseech Him to look upon them as an
Earnest of the united Zeal and Vigour of His Parliament, in the Cause of His Majesty and their
Country.
"Thankfully to acknowledge His Majesty's paternal
Regard for the Laws of the Land, our Constitution in
Church and State, and the Rights of His People; and
to assure His Majesty, that this House is thoroughly
convinced that the Continuance of these Blessings
does, under God, entirely depend on the Preservation
and Support of His Sacred Person and Government,
and of the Protestant Succession in His Royal Family.
"To give His Majesty the strongest Assurances, that,
in the Defence of His Majesty and of these invaluable Interests, we are resolved to unite and to hazard
our Estates and our Lives; that from this Resolution
we will never depart, but will heartily and zealously
concur in all such Measures as may most effectually
conduce to extinguish this Rebellion, to deter any
Foreign Power from presuming to support it, to restore the Tranquillity of His Government, and to
add Strength to that excellent Constitution which this
flagitious Attempt is intended to subvert."
Then the Lords following were appointed a Committee, to draw an Address, pursuant to the said
Order; and report to the House:
|
L. President.
L. Privy Seal.
L. Steward.
L. Chamberlain.
D. Leeds.
D. Newcastle.

L. Cornwallis.
L. Raymond.
L. Ilchester. |
Their Lordships, or any Five of them; to meet
immediately, in the Prince's Lodgings near the
House of Peers; and to adjourn as they please.
Then the House was adjourned during Pleasure; and
the Committee withdrew, to prepare the Address.
After some Time, the House was resumed.
And the Earl of Halifax 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 reported.
"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 humble Thanks, for Your most Gracious Speech
from the Throne.
"As we felt the utmost Concern upon the breaking
out of the unnatural Rebellion which is still carrying
on in Scotland; so our Joy on Your Majesty's safe
and happy Return into this Kingdom, agreeably to
the ardent Wishes of Your People, is proportionably
augmented. We want Words to express the just
Indignation and Abhorrence which rise in our Breasts,
at so wicked, traiterous, and desperate an Attempt,
in Favour of a Popish Pretender to Your Crown,
whose groundless Claim we have unfeignedly abjured,
and whose Principles and Designs we do from the
Bottom of our Hearts detest: And we beg Leave to
assure Your Majesty, that this rash and presumptive
Enterprize shall have no other Effect upon our Minds,
but to excite in us such a Spirit of Resolution and
Unanimity, in this critical Conjuncture, as, by the
Divine Assistance, may not only suppress this Rebellion, but confound and extinguish for ever all
future Hopes of the Pretender and his Adherents.
"The many evident Proofs of true Loyalty and Affection to Your Majesty, and Zeal for Your Government, which have been already shewn by Your faithful Subjects, with an Union and Chearfulness never
known before, unless at the happy Revolution
wrought by our great Deliverer King William the
Third, are clear Demonstrations, that this Nation is
determined to preserve the Structure built upon that
glorious Foundation: Vain indeed must be the Expectations of those, who can imagine we would part
with it. As Your Majesty has been pleased graciously to accept and approve these Beginnings, we
beseech You to look upon them as an Earnest of the
united Zeal and Vigour of Your Parliament in the
Cause of Your Majesty and their Country.
"It is with Hearts full of the sincerest Gratitude,
that we acknowledge Your Majesty's paternal Regard
for the Laws of the Land, our Constitution in Church
and State, and the Rights of Your People; and it
is with the deepest Conviction that we declare to
Your Majesty and the whole World, that the Continuance of these Blessings does, under God, entirely
depend on the Maintenance of Your Majesty's undoubted Title to the Crown of these Realms, the
Support of Your Throne, and the Preservation of
the Protestant Succession in Your Royal House. Whoever can entertain a Thought of exchanging those
just Rules of Government, bounded by the Laws and
Maxims of this free Constitution, for the Exercise
of Tyranny and Arbitrary Power learned in the
most despotic Courts of Europe, and of parting with
the purest Religion in the World for the Superstition and persecuting Spirit of Popery, must be the
most abandoned of Mankind.
"Warmed with these moving Sentiments, and unshaken in these Principles, we give Your Majesty the
strongest Assurances that, in Defence of Your Sacred
Person, and of all those invaluable Interests which
we have already described, we are stedfastly resolved
to unite, and to hazard our Estates and our Lives;
that from this Resolution we will never depart, but
will heartily and zealously concur in all such Measures
as may most effectually conduce to extinguish this
Rebellion; to deter any Foreign Power from presuming to support it; to restore the Tranquillity of
Your Majesty's Government; and to add Strength to
that excellent Constitution, which this flagitious Attempt is intended to subvert.
"May the Divine Providence guard and protect Your
Majesty's precious Life, give Success to Your Councils and Arms against all your Enemies, and Stability
to Your Throne."
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 when He will be
pleased to be attended therewith.
