Who being come, His Majesty was pleased to give

"Soit fait come il est desiré."
Then His Majesty made a Speech to this Effect:
King's Speech.
"My Lords and Gentlemen,
"I think I have given sufficient Evidence to the
World, that I have not been wanting, on My Part,
in My Endeavours to procure the full Satisfaction
of all My Subjects, in the Matters both of Religion
and Property. I have not only invited you to those
Considerations at our First Meeting; but I have been
careful through this whole Session, that no Concern
of My own should divert you from them.
"Besides, as I had only designed the Matter of it to
be the procuring of good Laws, so, for the gaining
of them, I have already waited much longer than
I intended; and should have been contented still to
have continued My Expectation, had there any Hopes
remained of a good Conclusion: But, I must confess, the ill Designs of our Enemies have been too
prevalent against those good ones I had proposed
to Myself in Behalf of My People; and those unhappy Differences between My Two Houses are
grown to such an Height, that I find no possible
Means of putting an End to them, but by a Prorogation.
"It is with great Unwillingness that I make Use of
this Expedient; having always intended an Adjournment, for the preserving of such Bills as were unfinished: But My Hopes are, that, by this Means
the present Occasion of Differences being taken
away, you will be so careful hereafter of the
Public, as not to seek new ones, nor to revive the
old.
"I intend to meet you here again in Winter; and
have directed My Lord Keeper to prorogue you till
the 13th of October next."
Then the Lord Keeper said,
Parliament prorogued.
"My Lords; and you Knights, Citizens, and Burgesses of the House of Commons;
"It is His Majesty's Pleasure, that this Parliament be
prorogued to the Thirteenth Day of October next;
and this Parliament is prorogued to the Thirteenth
Day of October next."
