Message from the King-Expediting Business.
Mr. Secretary Bennett did report, and deliver in, from
his Majesty, a Message, in Writing: Which was read
twice; and is as followeth: Viz.
Charles R.
HIS Majesty did hope, That the most important Bills
depending before his Two Houses of Parliament, would
have been dispatched before this time, that a Recess
might have been made; which, in many respects, will
be very necessary, the Season requiring it for Health,
and the Kingdom generally wanting the Presence of the
Members of Parliament, who have been too long from
their several Countries; and to which their own private,
as well as the publick Affairs will dispose them: The
Judges will shortly be obliged to begin their Circuits;
and his Majesty is willing to refresh himself, by some
short Progress: And therefore His Majesty thinks fit to
declare, That he intends a Recess shall be on Thursday
the Sixteenth of this Month: and, in order thereunto,
desires they would prepare those important Bills, which
they think fit, to present to Him, for His Royal Assent,
by that Day: And, in the mean time, His Majesty will
resolve, Whether they shall come together again in the
Winter, or in the Spring: In the taking of which Resolution, He will as well consider their Conveniences, as
the publick Service of the Kingdom.
Given at Whitehall, the Second Day of July 1663.
This House adjourns till To-morrow Morning
at Eight of the Clock.
