His Majesties SPEECH TO THE States General , As He was Seated in the Chair , in Their ASSEMBLY . My Lords ,

UPON my last Departure from this Country , I did intend to dispatch , with what Expedition I could , the Affairs of my own Kingdoms ; which having done accordingly , I am come hither again , to Execute my Office as Captain General , Admiral , and Statholder ; and to Contribute all that is possible for Me to do , for a speedy Peace ; and to put an End to this War-To which End , I have sent over all the Forces , out of my Kingdoms , that I could spare , to joyn those of this State . And as to the Fleet , I have taken such Care , that the most part of it is now ready ; and hope , That of this State is in the like Posture : desiring , that the Great God , the Maker of all things , would so Bless the Arms of this State , and the rest of the Confederates , that they may obtain that which is most in their Eye , A Good Peace . I will do all that I can , for the Common Good and Welfare of this State , not sparing my own Person ; and I assure you of my Sincere Intentions , and good Affection to You ; and thank your Lordships for the Honour you have done Me , and for your Congratulations upon my Arrival .

The Answer of the States General , to the Kings SPEECH . Most Sovereign Prince ,

WE thank Your Majesty for the Honour You have done Vs , to appear in Our Assembly ; as also , the constant Care , Good Will , and Affection , You have always manifested towards Vs , in Promoting of the common Welfare ; of which your Majesty has given Vs fresh Proofs , in coming to Vs at such a Season of the Year . We assure Your Majesty , That the Favour which You have always shown , and daily Continues , shall be for ever owned by Vs , with great Thankfulness ; and that as much as in Vs lies , We will Second your Majesty , in Your Good Intentions and Designs .
