"Though His Majesty resolved to begin His Journey towards Portsmouth on Friday next; yet, hoping

prepare and finish the Public Bills now before them;
and particularly He doth earnestly recommend to
them the Dispatch of the Bills for the Militia, for
the Highways, the Poor, and Printing: And, that
the Nation may not suffer under the Reproach and
Infamy of the Miscarriage in so glorious a Work as
the Draining of the Fens, since there is not Time
for the passing a Bill that may provide for the several Interests, His Majesty doth earnestly recommend
to them the passing such a temporary Bill, for Preservation of those Works, as hath already passed, and
is now expired; and when the Parliament meets
again, all particular Rights may be provided for.
