Speaker of H. C's Speech.
"May it please Your Majesty,
"Your dutiful and loyal Subjects, the Commons in
this present Parliament assembled, taking into Consideration the great and necessary Expences Your
Majesty will sustain in the Prosecution of the War
wherein Your Majesty is now engaged, did, at their
First Meeting in this present Session, unanimously
agree to present Your Majesty with a Supply of
Two Millions, the greatest Part of which they resolved to charge upon their Lands, as the most
speedy and effectual Way of raising present Money
for this Occasion; but, finding that great Abuses
had been committed in assessing the late Supply of
the like Nature, they have endeavoured to provide
against those Abuses in raising of this present Tax;
the Consideration whereof hath taken up much of
their Time, and produced a Bill of an unusual
Length, which I now offer to Your Majesty's gracious Acceptance.
"They have likewise agreed upon a Bill for declaring of their Rights and Liberties, which were so
notoriously violated in the late Reign; humbly desiring Your Majesty to give Life to it by the Royal
Assent, that so it may remain, not only as a Security to them from the like Attempts hereafter, but
be a lasting Monument to all Posterity, of what
they owe to Your Majesty for their Deliverance."
This Speech being ended; the Clerk of the Parliament received the Bill of Aid at the Speaker's Hand,
and brought it to the Table, where the Title was read
by the Clerk of the Crown; videlicet,
Bills passed.
"An Act for a Grant to Their Majesties of an Aid
of Two Shillings in the Pound, for One Year."
To which the Royal Assent was pronounced, by
the Clerk of the Parliaments, in these Words,
"Le Roy et la Reyne, remerciant leur loyals
Subjects, et acceptant leur Benevolence
et ainsi le veulent."
Then His Majesty gave His Royal Assent to these
Bills following:
"An Act, declaring the Rights and Liberties of the
Subject, and settling the Succession of the Crown."
"Le Roy et la Reyne le veulent."
"An Act for the Naturalization of William Watts."
"An Act, declaring and enacting John Rogerson to
be a natural-born Subject of this Kingdom."
To these Two Private Bills the Royal Assent was
pronounced, by the Clerk of the Parliaments,
in these Words,
"Soit sait come il est desiré."
After this, His Majesty withdrew Himself.
The House was resumed.
