LONDON , Printed by Charles Bill and the Executrix of Thomas Newcomb , deceas'd ; Printers to the King and Queens most Excellent Majesties . 1692/3.

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

THE large Supplies which you have given Me this Session , are so great Testimonies of your good Affections , that I take this Occasion with great Willingness to Return My hearty Thanks to you ; And I Assure you it shall be My Care to see that that Money you have Given , may be Effectually Applied to such Services as may be most for the Honour and Interest of England .

I must Recommend to your Care the Peace and Quiet of the several Counties to which you are now Returning , and Doubt not but by your Care , the Supply which you have so freely Given , will not only be Effectually Levied , but with the greatest Equality too , and the least Uneasiness to the People that is possible .

My Lords and Gentlemen ,

The Posture of Affairs does necessarily Require My Presence Abroad ; but I shall take Care to leave such a Number of Troops here , as may be sufficient for the Security of the Kingdom , against any Attempts of Our Enemies .

I shall add no more , but that as I shall continue to Expose My Own Person upon all Occasions for the Good and Advantage of these Kingdoms , so I do likewise Assure you , that My Hearty and Sincere Endeavours shall never be wanting in any other kind , to make this a Great and Flourishing Nation .

Then the Speaker , by His Majesties Command , said , My Lords and Gentlemen ,

IT is His Majesties Pleasure , that this Parliament shall be Prorogued to the Second Day of May next , and this Parliament is Prorogued accordingly to the Second Day of May next .

FINIS .
