Who being come, they, by their Speaker, presented His Majesty with Two Bills, one of Tonnage and Poundage, the other concerning the Excise; with a short Speech, to this Effect:

Speaker of H. C's Speech.

"That it was never the Course of Parliaments to charge the People with Payments, until their Liberties and Grievances were first confirmed and redressed; Yet, out of the greatest Trust and Confidence that ever Subjects had in a Prince, the House of Commons do now go out of their old Way, and have now supplied His Majesty's Necessities with the greatest Gift that ever Prince of this Kingdom had given by His People; which they humbly presented to His Majesty."

Bills passed.

Then the Bills were received by the Clerk of the Parliament, and passed the Royal Assent, with other Bills, as followeth; the Clerk of the Crown reading the Titles of the said Bills, and the Clerk of the Parliaments pronouncing the Royal Assent:

"An Act for continuing the Excise until the 20th of August, 1660."

" (fn. 1) A Subsidy granted to the King, of Tonnage and Poundage, and other Sums of Money payable upon Merchandizes exported and imported."

To both which Bills the Royal Assent was pronounced, in these Words,

"Le Roy, remerciant Ses bons Subjects, accepte leur Benevolence, et ainsi le veult."

"An Act for the present Nominating of Commissioners of Sewers."

"Le Roy le veult."

"An Act for restoring unto James Marquis of Ormond, all his Honours, Manors, Lands, and Tenements, in Ireland, whereof he was in Possession on the 28th of October, 1641, or at any Time since."

"Soit fait come il est desiré."
