THE SPEECH Of the Right Honourable Henry Powle , Esq SPEAKER OF THE House of Commons : Delivered to the KING and QUEEN'S Majesties , at the Banqueting-House in White-Hall Friday April 12. 1689. WITH His Majesty's ANSWER THERETO .

LONDON , Printed by Charles Bill , and Thomas Newcomb , Printers to the King and Queen's most Excellent Majesties . MDCLXXXIX .

THE SPEECH Of the Right Honourable Henry Powle , Esq SPEAKER of the HOUSE of COMMONS .

YOUR most Loyal and Dutiful Subjects , the Commons of England Assembled in this present Parliament , having to their unspeakable Joy seen Your Majesties plac'd upon the Imperial Throne of this Kingdom , they have desired Access at this time to Your Royal Presence , humbly to Congratulate Your Majesties upon this Occasion , and to wish Your Majesties a long and prosperous Reign , with all the Blessings that ever did attend a Crown .

We are all Sensible , that Your Majesties Greatness is the Security of Your Subjects . It is from Your Power that we derive to our selves an Assurance of being Defended from our Enemies ; And from Your Justice that we expect a full enjoyment of our Laws and Liberties : But that which compleats our Happiness , is the Experience we have of Your Majesties continual Care to maintain the Protestant Religion ; So that we can no longer apprehend any danger of being deprived of that inestimable Blessing either by secret Practices , or by open Violence .

To the King. May the same Divine Providence which hath hitherto preserved Your Majesty in the greatest Dangers , and so often given You Victory over Your Enemies , ●till Crown Your Undertakings with Success .

To the Queen . And may those unparallelled Virtues , which adorn Your Majesties Royal Person , be the Admiration of the Present Age , and an Example to the Future .

And may the Lustre of both Your Names so far out-shine the Glory of Your Predecessors , that the Memory of their greatest Actions may be forgotten , and Your People no longer Date the Establishment of their Laws and Liberties from St. Edward's Days , but from the most Auspicious Reign of King WILLIAM and Queen MARY .

His MAJESTY's Answer Gentlemen ,

WE return you Our hearty Thanks for the Kindness and. Respects that you have upon all Occasions shewed to Both of Vs ; We shall take care to the best of Our Power of all things that conduce to the Good of the Kingdom ; and I do not doubt but by Gods Assistance and yours , We shall be able in a short time to make you a Flourishing People .

FINIS .
