6. The Precedent of 30° Maii, A° 12° Caroli Secundi.

The House being satisfied with these Precedents; ORDERED, That the Lord Keeper do report what His Majesty said by Word of Mouth, when the Address by both Houses of Parliament was presented to His Majesty at Whitehall, the Fifteenth Day of this Instant October.
The Lord Keeper desired Leave of the House to retire himself, to recollect his Memory, whereby he may be the better enabled to make the said Report.
To that Purpose, the House was adjourned during Pleasure; and the Lord Keeper retired to his Room.
After a little while, his Lordships returned; and then the House was resumed.

"That when both Houses of Parliament attended the King on the 15th Day of this Instant October, he delivered the humble Address of both Houses to His Majesty; and His Majesty said as followeth:
King's Answer to Address of both Houses.
