King's Answer to the Thanks of the Houses, for issuing His Proclaniation against Conventicles.

The Chief Justice reported, "That he had presented the Thanks of both Houses to His Majesty, as he was directed on Saturday last. And His Majesty returned this Answer following:

"My Lords and Gentlemen,

"I thank you for this Mark of your Affection to Me; and I doubt not of the Continuance and Concurrence of it in other Matters, as well as in this of My Proclamation. I recommend to you, that you would weigh well what I say and desire in it towards the Welfare and Peace of this Nation; in order to which, as I shall always be ready to contribute My utmost Endeavours, so I hope you will never be failing in yours to enable Me to do it."

The Lord Awdley is added to the Committee to consider the Causes of the Fall of Rents, and the Decay of Trade, within this Kingdom.
