Speaker of H. C. Speech.
"May it please Your Majesty,
Your dutiful and loyal Subjects, the Commons in
this present Parliament assembled, having a just Regard to their former Resolution of granting to Your
Majesty the Sum of Fourteen Hundred Thousand
Pounds, upon their Lands, for the Service of this
present Year; and finding, by the best Estimates they
could make, that the Two Shillings in the Pound
which they have already given would not amount to
that Sum, they have unanimously agreed to lay an
additional Tax of Twelve Pence in the Pound more,
which they hope will sufficiently supply what the
other may fall short to raise.
"They have likewise agreed to transfer the Duties
which are now charged upon Coffee, Tea, and Chocolate, by Way of Excise, to be made payable at the
Custom-house; and this they have done out of a
Prospect, that this Exchange will very much conduce to the Improvement of Your Majesty's Revenue.
"These Two Bills I am commanded to present to
Your Majesty; and humbly to desire Your Majesty's
Gracious Acceptance, and that Your Majesty would
be pleased to give them the Royal Assent."
The Speech being ended; the Clerk of the Parliaments received Two Bills from the Speaker, who

The one was intituled, "An Act for the charging
and collecting the Duties of Coffee, Tea, and Chocolate, at the Custom-house."
The other, "An Act for a Grant to Their Majesties of an Aid of Twelve Pence in the Pound, for
a Year."
The Clerk of the Crown read the Titles.
And the Clerk of the Parliaments pronounced the
Royal Assent, in these Words,
"Le Roy & la Reyne, remerciant leur loyalls Subjects, & acceptant leur Benevolence, et ainsi le
veulant."
Next, His Majesty was pleased to pass a Private Bill,
intituled, "An Act for providing Maintenances for the
"Children of Sydney Wortley, alias Montagu, Esquire,
during his Wife's Life, in case she survive him."
To which the Royal Assent was pronounced in these
Words,
