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

I HAVE had such Assurance of your good Affections to Me , that I come now to Thank you , and particularly for the Supplies you have given Me.

The Season of the Year is so far Advanced , that I can no longer Delay My going into Ireland ; And therefore I think it necessary to have an Adjournment of the Parliament .

And though it shall be but to a short Day , yet unless some great Occasion require it ( of which you shall have due Notice ) I do not intend you shall Sit to do Business until the Winter ; And I hope , by the Blessing of God , We shall then have a happy Meeting .

In the mean time I Recommend to you the Discharge of your Duties in your respective Countreys , that the Peace of the Nation may be Secured by your Vigilance and Care in your several Stations .

Then the Speaker by His Majesties Command said , My Lords and Gentlemen , IT is His Majesties Pleasure , That you Adjourn your selves to the Seventh Day of July next .

And accordingly both Houses did Adjourn themselves to the Seventh Day of July next .

FINIS .
