&c. To Our Right Trusty and Right Well-beloved
the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and to Our Trusty
and Well-beloved the Knights, Citizens, and Burgesses, and the Commissioners for Shires and Boroughs,
of the House of Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, Greeting. Whereas We have seen,
and perfectly understood, an Act, agreed and accorded on by you Our loving Subjects, the Lords
Spiritual and Temporal and the Commons in this
Our present Parliament assembled, and endorsed by
you, as hath been accustomed; the Title and Name
of which Act hereafter doth particularly ensue;
(that is to say,) "An Act for charging and continuing the Duties upon Malt, Mum, Cyder, and
Perry, for the Service of the Year One Thousand
Seven Hundred and Ten." And albeit the said Act,
by you Our said Subjects the Lords and Commons
in this Our present Parliament assembled, is fully
agreed and consented unto; yet, nevertheless, the
same is not of Force and Effect in the Law, without
Our Royal Assent given and put to the said Act: And
forasmuch as, for divers great and urgent Causes
and Considerations, We cannot conveniently, at this
present, be Personally in Our Royal Person in the
Higher House of Our said Parliament, being the
Place accustomed to give Our Royal Assent to such
Acts as have been agreed upon by you Our said
Subjects the Lords and Commons, We have therefore caused these Our Letters Patents to be made,
and have signed the same; and by the same do give
and put Our Royal Assent to the said Act, and to
all Articles, Clauses, and Provisions, therein contained, and have fully agreed and assented to the
said Act; willing that the said Act, and every Article, Clause, Sentence, and Provision, therein contained, from henceforth, shall be of the same
Strength, Force, and Effect, as if We had been Personally present in the said Higher House, and had
openly and publicly, in the Presence of you all,
assented to the same: And We do, by these Presents,
declare and notify the same Our Royal Assent, as well
to you the Lords Spiritual and Temporal and the
Commons aforesaid, as to all others whom it may
concern; commanding also, by these Presents, Our
Right Trusty and Well-beloved Counsellor William
Lord Cowper, Our Chancellor of Great Britain, to
seal these Our Letters Patents with Our Great Seal
of Great Britain; and also commanding the Most
Reverend Father in God and Our Right Trusty and
Well-beloved Counsellor Thomas Lord Archbishop
of Canterbury Primate and Metropolitan of all England, Our said Chancellor of Great Britain, Our
Right Trusty and Right Well-beloved Cousin and
Counsellor Sidney Earl of Godolphin Our High Treasurer of Great Britain, Our Right Trusty and Wellbeloved Counsellor John Lord Sommers President of
Our Council, Our Right Trusty and Right Entirelybeloved Cousins and Counsellors John Duke of Newcastle Our Keeper of Our Privy Seal, William Duke
of Devonshire Our Steward of Our Household, Charles
Duke of Somerset Our Master of Our Horse, John
Duke of Marlborough, James Duke of Queensberry
and Dover One of Our Principal Secretaries, Our
Right Trusty and Right Well-beloved Cousin and
Counsellor Charles Earl of Sunderland One of Our
Principal Secretaries, or any Three or more of them,
to declare and notify this Our Royal Assent, in Our
Absence, in the said Higher House, in the Presence
of you the said Lords and Commons of Our Parliament, there to be assembled for that Purpose;
and the Clerk of Our Parliaments to endorse the
said Act with such Terms and Words, in Our Name,
as is requisite and hath been accustomed for the
same; and also to enrol these Our Letters Patents,
and the said Act, in the Parliament Roll; and these
Our Letters Patents shall be, to every of them, a
sufficient Warrant in that Behalf. And, finally, We
do declare and will, That after this Our Royal Assent given and passed by these Presents, and declared
and notified as is aforesaid, that then, and immediately, the said Act shall be taken, accepted, and
admitted, a good, sufficient, and perfect Act of Parliament and Law, to all Intents, Constructions, and
Purposes, and to be put in due Execution accordingly; the Continuance or Dissolution of this Our
Parliament, or any other Use, Custom, Thing, or
Things, to the contrary thereof, notwithstanding
In Witness whereof, We have caused these Our Letters to be made Patents.
"Witness Ourself, at Westm'r, the Three and
Twentieth Day of December, in the Eighth
Year of Our Reign.
"Per ipsam Reginam, propria Manu signat.
"Wrighte."
Then the Lord Chancellor said,
"In Obedience to Her Majesty's Command, and by
Virtue of the Commission to us, among other Lords,
directed (and now read), we do declare and notify
to you, the Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Commons in Parliament assembled, That Her Majesty has
given Her Royal Assent to the said Act in the Commission mentioned; and the Clerks are required
to pass the same, in the usual Form and Words."
Then the Clerk of the Parliaments received the said
Bill from the Hands of the Speaker, and brought it to
the Table; where the Clerk of the Crown read the
Title; (videlicet,)
"An Act for charging and continuing the Duties
upon Malt, Mum, Cyder, and Perry, for the Service of the Year One Thousand Seven Hundred and
Ten."
To this Bill the Clerk of the Parliaments pronounced the Royal Assent, in these Words;
(videlicet,)
"La Raine remercie ses bon Subjects, accepte leur
Benevolence, et ainsi le veult."
Then the Lord Chancellor said,
"My Lords, and Gentlemen,
"This is all we have to do, by Virtue of this Commission."
