The Address of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament Assembled , &c. Die Sabbati 18. Februarii , 1692.

WE the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament Assembled , Conceiving it to be Our Duty to Your Majesty , and the Kingdom , to Offer Our Opinion and Advice , upon Occasions of Importance Relating to the Publick , and especially in this Conjuncture , Do Humbly lay before Your Majesty , for the present , these following Resolutions of the House , which We conceive are highly Necessary to the Safety and Honor of Your Majesties Person and Government .

That the Chief Commander of the English Forces under Your Majesty , shall be a Subject born in Your Majesties Dominions .

That a Capitulation having been made in the Year 1678 , by which it was Agreed , That the English Commander , and Officer in every Degree , is to Command any other Confederate-Officer of the same Rank , except those of Crown'd Heads , without any Regard to the Date of their Respective Commissions , It is the Humble Advice of this House , That the same Preference may be still Continued to Your Majesties Officers , the contrary Practice in this last War , being , as we Conceive , to the Diminution of the Honor that belongeth to the Crown of England , and to the general Dissatisfaction of Your Majesties Subjects .

That Twenty Thousand English Soldiers should Remain in England , during the Year 1693 , and be under the Command of One of Your Majesties Subjects , born in this Kingdom .

That no Foreigner shall be of the Board of Ordnance , or Keeper of the Stores in the Tower of London .

That for Incouragement of the English , there may not be so many Strangers Imployed in the Office of the Ordnance .

There having been many Abuses of late , under pretence of Pressing Men for the Fleet , It is the Humble Advice of this House , That Your Majesty will be pleased to give effectual Order , That all those who have Committed any Offences of that kind , or shall Commit them for the future , may be immediately Cashiered , and Prosecuted with the utmost Rigor of the Law .

24. Febr . 1692.

THE Speaker Reported His Majesties Answer to the Address Yesterday . That His Majesty said , He would take it into Consideration .
