Then John Lord Bishop of Norwich took the Oaths,

Browne versus Waight, in Error.

King present.
His Majesty ascended His Throne, being adorned
with His Royal Crown and Robes (the Peers being
likewise in their Robes); commanded the Gentleman
Usher of the Black Rod to give Notice to the House
of Commons, "That they attend His Majesty presently,
with their Speaker."
Who being come; His Majesty made the Speech
following:
King's Speech.
"My Lords and Gentlemen,
"I have appointed this Meeting of the Parliament,
as soon as ever the Affairs Abroad would admit of
My Return into England, that you might have the
more Time to consider of the best and most effectual
Ways and Means for the carrying on of the War
against France this next Year.
"I am willing to hope, that the good Success with
which it hath pleased GOD to bless My Arms in Ireland
this Summer, will not only be a great Encouragement
to you to proceed the more chearfully in this Work;
but will be looked upon by you as an Earnest of
future Success, which your timely Assistance to Me
may, by GOD's Blessing, procure to us all. And, as
I do not doubt but you will take Care to pay the
Arrears of that Army, which hath been so deserving
and so prosperous in the Reducement of Ireland to
a peaceable Condition; so, I do assure you, there
shall no Care be wanting, on My Part, to keep that
Kingdom, as far as it is possible, from being burthensome to England for the future.
"My Lords and Gentlemen,
"I do not doubt but you are all sensible that it will
be necessary we should have as strong a Fleet next
Year, and as early at Sea, as we had this Summer.
And I must tell you, that the great Power of France
will as necessarily require, that we should maintain
a very considerable Army ready upon all Occasions,
not only to defend ourselves from any Insult, but
also to annoy the common Enemy where it may be
most sensible to them: And I do not see how it is possible to do this with less than Sixty-five Thousand Men.
"I shall only add, that, by the Vigour and Dispatch
of your Counsels, and Assistance to Me in this Session
of Parliament, you have now an Opportunity in
your Hands, which, if neglected, you can never reasonably hope to see again, not only to establish the
future Quiet and Prosperity of these Kingdoms, but
the Peace and Security of all Europe."
This being ended, His Majesty was pleased to withdraw; and the Commons went to their House.
Clandestine Marriages Bill.
