Queen's Speech.
"My Lords and Gentleman,
I cannot put an End to this Session, without doing
you the Justice to acknowledge, you have fully made
good the Assurances you gave Me at the Beginning of
it, by the great Readiness you have shewn in the Dispatch of the Public Business: And I make no Doubt
but this Dispatch will prove a real Advantage to us,
and a great Discouragement to our Enemies.
Gentlemen of the House of Commons,
I return you My hearty Thanks in particular, for
the great Supplies with which you have enabled Me to
carry on this necessary War: I assure you, they shall
be carefully applied to the Uses for which they have
been given; and, I persuade Myself, I shall always have
the chearful Assistance of My dutiful and loving Subjects, in the Prosecution of the present War, till out
Enemies are obliged to such a Peace, as shall be a
lasting Advantage and Security to us and to our Allies.
"My Lords and Gentlemen,
We have, by the Blessing of GOD, a fair Prospect
of this great and desirable End, if we do not disappoint it by our own unreasonable Humour and Animosity; the fatal Effects of which we have so narrowly escaped in this Session, that it ought to be a
sufficient Warning against any dangerous Experiments
for the future.
I conclude, therefore, with exhorting you all to Peace
and Union; which are always commendable, but more
particularly necessary at this Time, when, the whole
Kingdom being shortly to proceed to new Elections,
it ought to be the Care of every body, especially such
as are in public Stations, to carry themselves with
the greatest Prudence and Moderation: Nothing will
contribute more to our Reputation Abroad and our
Security at Home."
Then the Lord Keeper, by Her Majesty's Command,
said,
"My Lords and Gentlemen,
Parliament prorogued.
Her Majesty's Royal Will and Pleasure is, that this
present Parliament be prorogued to the First Day of
May next: And this Parliament is prorogued accordingly to the First Day of May next."
