His Majesties MOST GRACIOUS SPEECH To both HOUSES of PARLIAMENT . My Lords and Gentlemen ,

I Return My hearty Thanks to you all for the great Demonstrations you have Given Me of your Affections in this Sessions , and of your Zeal for the Support of the Government .

And I must Thank you Gentlemen of the House of Commons in particular , for the Great Supplies you have Granted for the Prosecution of the War . I Assure you I shall take Care so to Dispose of the Money you have Given Me for the Publick Occasions , as that the whole Nation may be entirely Satisfied with the Application of it .

My Lords and Gentlemen , I Think it proper to Acquaint you with My Intentions of going beyond Sea very speedily , which I am Afraid have been already Retarded , more then is convenient for the present Posture of Affairs ; And upon that Account I Think it Necessary to put an End to this present Meeting . The Season of the Year being now so very far Advanced that it may prove of the last ill Consequence to Continue it any longer .

FINIS .
