did Yesterday present to Her Majesty their humble
Address; and that Her Majesty was pleased to return
the following most Gracious Answer:
My Lords,
"I take extreme kindly your Address; and the
Thanks you give Me for what I have done for establishing the Protestant Succession.
"I shall repeat My Instances to have that Person removed, according as you desire in this Address.
"And I promise Myself, you will concur with Me,
That, if we could cure our Animosities and Divisions
at Home, it would be the most effectual Method to
secure the Protestant Succession."
Queen to go to St. Paul's the Thanksgiving-day:
The Earl of Dartmouth, by Her Majesty's Command, acquainted the House, "That Her Majesty has
appointed Tuesday the Seventh of this Instant July, to
be observed as a Day of Public Thanksgiving to
Almighty God, on the Occasion of the safe and
honourable Peace concluded lately at Utrecht; and,
for the greater Solemnity of that Day, Her Majesty
will be pleased to go to St. Paul's Church, as has
been accustomed in former Times in this Kingdom,
to return Thanks to Almighty God for the Blessings of Peace, in which not only Her Majesty, but
all Her Subjects are so highly concerned."

Address on Her Majesty's Answer.
Ordered, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal
in Parliament assembled, That an humble Address
be presented to Her Majesty, to return the Thanks
of this House to Her Majesty, for Her most Gracious
Answer to their Address; and for the Assurances Her
Majesty has been pleased to give us, of repeating
Her Instances for removing the Pretender; and to express our Surprize, that such Instances have not had
their full Effect, notwithstanding the French King
and the King of Spain have shewed Their Compliance
to Her Majesty's Desires on that Occasion: And to
assure Her Majesty, that this House will stand by
Her, and support Her in whatever Her Majesty
shall judge proper, for obtaining a Demand, which
is so warranted by the Laws of Nations, and so necessary for the Honour and Safety of Her Majesty,
and for the present and future Peace and Quiet of
her People."
