THE SPEECH Of the Right Honourable Henry Powle , Esquire , SPEAKER OF THE House of Commons : Delivered to the KING and QUEEN'S Majesties , at the Banqueting-House in White-Hall , Friday April 12. 1689. WITH His MAJESTYS Answer thereto .

YOur most Loyal and Dutiful Subjects , the Commons of England Assembled in this present Parliament , having to their unspeakable Joy seen Your Majesties plac'd upon the Imperial Throne of this Kingdom , they have desired Access at this time to Your Royal Presence , humbly to Congratulate Your Majesties upon this Occasion , and to wish Your Majesties a long and prosperous Reign , with all the Blessings that ever did attend a Crown .

We are all Sensible , that Your Majesties Greatness is the Security of Your Subjects . It is from Your Power , that we derive to our selves an Aslurance of being Defended from our Enemies ; And from Your Justice , that we expect a full enjoyment of our Laws and Liberties : But that which compleats our Happiness , is the Experience we have of Your Majesties continual Care to maintain the Protestant Religion ; So that we can no longer apprehend any danger of being deprived of that inestimable Blessing , either by secret Practices , or open Violence .

To the KING . May the same Divine Providence which hath hitherto preserved Your Majestie in the greatest Dangers , and so often given You Victory over Your Enemies , still Crown Your Vndertakings with Success .

To the QUEEN . And may these Vnparallelled Vertues , which Adorn Your Majesties Royal Person be the Admiration of the Present Age , and an Example to the Future .

And may the Lustre of both Your Names so far out-shine the Glory of Your Predecessors , that the Memory of their greatest Actions may be forgotten , and Your People no longer Date the Establishment of their Laws and Liberties from St. Edward's Days , but from the most Auspicious Reign of King WILLIAM and Queen MARY .

His Majesty's Answer . Gentlemen ,

We return you Our hearty Thanks for the Kindness and Respects that you have upon all Occasions shewed to both of Us ; We shall take care to the best of Our Power of all things that conduce to the good of the Kingdom ; and I do not doubt , but by Gods Assistance and yours , We shall be able in a short time to make you a Flourishing People .

FINIS .
