Then,
Four of the Lords Commissioners, being seated on a
Form placed between the Throne and the Woolsack; the Lord Keeper in the Middle; the Lord President on his Right Hand; and the Lord Steward and
Duke of Ormonde on his Left; commanded the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod to go to the House of
Commons, and desire their Attendance presently, in the
House of Peers.
Who being come, with their Speaker; the Lord
Keeper said,
"My Lords, and Gentlemen of the House of
Commons,
"Her Majesty, not thinking fit to be Personally
present in Her Royal Person at this Time, has been
pleased to cause a Commission to be issued, under Her
Great Seal; and hath thereby given Her Royal Assent to Two Acts therein mentioned, which have
passed both Houses; and, by Her said Commission,
hath commanded us, in Her Absence, to declare and
notify Her Royal Assent to the said Two Acts, in this
House, in the Presence of you the Lords and Commons here to be assembled for that Purpose:
Which Commission we desire may be read."
And the same was accordingly read by the Clerk, as
follows; (videlicet,)
"ANNE R.
"Anne, by the Grace of God, of Great Britain,
France, and Ireland, Queen, Defender of the Faith,
&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, divers and sundry Acts,
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 Titles
and Names of which Acts hereafter do particularly
ensue; that is to say, "An Act to continue the Acts
for punishing Mutiny and Desertion, and false Musters; and for the better Payment of the Army and
Quarters; and for approving of Medicines for the
Army:" "An Act for Sale of the Manor of Reaversby, and other Lands, in the County of Lincoln,
the Estate of Henry Bowes Earl of Berkshire; and to
settle other Lands, in the County of Stafford, to the
same Uses." And albeit the said Acts, by you Our
said Subjects, the Lords and Commons in this
Our present Parliament assembled, are fully agreed
and consented unto; yet, nevertheless, the same
are not of Force and Effect in the Law, without
Our Royal Assent given and put to the said Acts.
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 Acts, and to all
Articles, Clauses, and Provisions therein contained,
and have fully agreed and assented to the said Acts;
willing, that the said Acts, 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 Commons
aforesaid, as to all others whom it may concern;
commanding also, by these Presents, Our Right
Trusty and Well-beloved Counsellor Sir Simon Harcourt Knight Keeper of (fn. *) Our Great Seal 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 Keeper of Our Great Seal
of Great Britain, Our Right Trusty and Right Wellbeloved Cousin and Counsellor Lawrence Earl of
Rochester Our President of Our Council, Our Right
Trusty and Right Entirely-beloved Cousins and Counsellors John Duke of Newcastle Our Keeper of Our
Privy Seal, John Duke of the County of Buckingham
and of Normanby Our Steward of Our Household,
Charles Duke of Shrewsbury Our Chamberlain of
Our Household, Charles Duke of Somerset Our Master
of Our Horse, James Duke of Ormonde Lieutenant
of Our Kingdom of Ireland, John Duke of Marlborough, James Duke of Queensberry and Dover Our
Principal Secretary of State, Our Right Trusty and
Right Well-beloved Cousin and Counsellor John Earl
Poulet First Commissioner of Our Treasury of Great
Britain, and Our Right Trusty and Well-beloved
Counsellor William Lord Dartmouth One of Our Principal Secretaries of State, 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 the Commons of
Our Parliament, there to be assembled for that Purpose; and the Clerk of Our Parliaments to endorse
the said Acts 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 Acts, 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 Acts shall be taken, accepted, and admitted, good,
sufficient, and perfect Acts of Parliament and Laws,
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 Westminster, the Six and
Twentieth Day of March, in the Tenth Year
of Our Reign.
Per ipsam Reginam, propria Manu signat.
"Wrighte."
Then the Lord Keeper said,
"In Obedience to Her Majesty's Command, and by
Virtue of the Commission which has been 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
Two Acts in the Commission mentioned; and the
Clerks are required to pass the same, in the usual
Form and Words."
Then the Clerk of the Crown read the Titles of the
Bills to be passed, severally, as follows:
1. An Act to continue the Acts for punishing Mutiny and Defertion, and false Musters, and for the
better Payment of the Army and Quarters; and for
approving of Medicines for the Army."
To this Bill the Clerk of the Parliaments pronounced the Royal Assent, in these Words;
(videlicet,)
"La Reyne le veult."

same Uses."

(videlicet,)
"Soit fait come il est desiré."
Then the Lord Keeper said,

"This is all we have in Command from Her Majesty, by Virtue of this Commission."
The House was adjourned during Pleasure, to unrobe.
The House was resumed.
