PRAYERS.
The House was adjourned during Pleasure.
The House was resumed.
Queen present:
Her Majesty, being seated on Her Royal Throne,
adorned with Her Crown and Regal Ornaments, attended with Her Officers of State, the Peers being also in
their Robes, commanded the Deputy Gentleman Usher
of the Black Rod to let the Commons know, "It is
Her Majesty's Pleasure, that they attend Her presently, in the House of Peers."
Who being come, with their Speaker; Her Majesty
was pleased to say as follows:
Her Speech.
"My Lords and Gentlemen,
"The great and remarkable Success, with which GOD
has blessed our Arms in this Summer, has stirred up
Our good Subjects, in all Parts of the Kingdom, to express their unanimous Joy and Satisfaction; and I
assure Myself, you are all come disposed to do every
Thing, that is necessary, for the effectual Prosecution of
the War; nothing being more obvious, than that a
timely Improvement of our present Advantages will
enable us to procure a lasting Foundation of Security
for England, and a firm Support for the Liberty of
Europe. This is My Aim: I have no Interest, nor
ever will have, but to promote the Good and Happiness of all My Subjects.
"Gentlemen of the House of Commons,
"I must desire such Supplies of you, as may be requisite for carrying on the next Year's Service, both by
Sea and Land, and for punctually performing our
Treaties with all our Allies; the rather, for that
some of them have just Pretensions depending ever
since the last War; and I need not put you in Mind,
of what Importance it is to preserve the Public Credit both Abroad and at Home.
"I believe, you will find some Charges necessary next
Year, which were not mentioned in the last Sessions;
and some extraordinary Expences incurred since, which
were not then provided for.
"I assure you, that all the Supplies you give, with
what I am able to spare from My own Expences, shall
be carefully applied to the best Advantage for the
Public Service: And I earnestly recommend to you
a speedy Dispatch, as that which, under the good
Providence of GOD, we must chiefly depend upon, to
disappoint the earliest Designs of Our Enemies.
"My Lords and Gentlemen,
"I cannot but tell you, how essential it is, for attaining
these great Ends Abroad, of which we have so hopeful a Prospect, that we should be entirely united at
Home.
"It is plain, our Enemies have no Encouragement
left, but what arises from their Hopes of our Divisions: Tis therefore your Concern, not to give the
least Countenance to those Hopes.
"My Inclinations are, to be kind and indulgent to
you all. I hope, you will do nothing to endanger the
Loss of this Opportunity, which GOD has put into
our Hands, of securing ourselves, and all Europe; and
that there will be no Contention among you, but who
shall most promote the Public Welfare.
"Such a Temper as this, in all your Proceedings,
cannot fail of securing your Reputation both at Home
and Abroad.
"This would make Me a happy Queen; whose utmost Endeavours shall never be wanting, to make you
a happy and flourishing People."
Then Her Majesty was pleased to withdraw; and the
Commons went to their House.
