THE SPEECH Of the Right Honourable Henry Powle , Esq SPEAKER OF THE House of Commons . May it please Your Majesty ,

YOur Dutiful and Loyal Subjects , the Commons in this present Parliament Assembled , taking into Consideration the Great and Necessary Expences Your Majesty will sustain in the Prosecution of the War , wherein Your Majesty is now Engaged , did at their first Meeting in this present Session , unanimously Agree to Present Your Majesty with a Supply of Two Millions ; the greatest part of which they resolved to Charge upon their Lands , as the most speedy and effectual Way of Raising present Money for this Occasion . But finding that great Abuses had been committed in Assessing the late Supply of the like Nature , they have endeavoured to Provide against those Abuses in Raising of this present Tax ; the Consideration whereof hath taken up much of their Time , and produced a Bill of an unusual length , which I now offer to Your Majesties Gracious Acceptance .

They have likewise Agreed upon a Bill for Declaring of their Rights and Liberties , which were so notoriously Violated in the late Reign , humbly desiring Your Majesty to give Life to it by the Royal Assent , that so it may remain not only a Security to them from the like Attempts hereafter , but be a lasting Monument to all Posterity , of what they owe to Your Majesty for their Deliverance .

Let this be Printed ,

H. POWLE Speaker .
