PRAYERS.

The Lord President, by His Majesty's Command, acquainted the House, "That nothing should have hindered His Majesty from coming to this House, to pass those Bills that now lie ready for His Majesty's Royal Assent, but His unfortunate Accident; and at the same Time His Majesty intended to acquaint this House, from the Throne, with what He hath now sent by a Message."

Which Message was read by the Lord Keeper, and then read by the Clerk, as follows; (videlicet,)

King's Message concerning Union between England and Scotland.

"William R.

"His Majesty, being at present hindered by an unhappy Accident from coming in Person to His Parliament, is pleased to signify to the House of Peers by Message, what He designed to have spoken to both Houses from the Throne. His Majesty, in the First Year of His Reign, did acquaint the Parliament, that Commissioners were authorized in Scotland, to treat with such Commissioners as should be appointed in England, of proper Terms for uniting the Two Kingdoms; and at the same Time expressed His great Desire of such an Union. His Majesty did also, in a Message of the Twelfth of February One Thousand Six Hundred Ninety-nine, to this House, declare His Opinion of the great Advantages which would arise to both Kingdoms, if they were more nearly and compleatly united. His Majesty is fully satisfied, that nothing can contribute more to the present and future Peace, Security, and Happiness, of England and Scotland, than a firm and entire Union between them; and He cannot but hope, that, upon a due Consideration of our present Circumstances, there will be found a general Disposition to this Union. His Majesty would esteem it a peculiar Felicity, if, during His Reign, some happy Expedient for making both Kingdoms One might take Place; and is therefore extremely desirous that a Treaty for that Purpose might be set on Foot, and does in the most earnest Manner recommend this Affair to the Consideration of the House."

Lords summoned about it.

It is ORDERED, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, That the said Message shall be taken into Consideration on Tuesday next, at Twelve a Clock; and all the Lords summoned to attend.
