THE SPEECH Of the Right Honourable Henry Powle , Esquire , SPEAKER of the House of Commons : On Munday the Sixteenth of December , 1689. at the Passing of Four BILLS , ENTITULED , I. An Act for a Grant to Their Majesties of an Aid of Two shillings in the Pound for One Year . II. An Act for Declaring the Rights of the Subject , and Settling the Succession of the Crown . III. An Act for Naturalizing William Watts , an Infant . IV. An Act for Declaring and Enacting John Rogerson to be a Natural born Subject of this Realm . May it please Your Majesty .

YOur Dutiful and Loyal Subjects , the Commons in this present Parliament Assembled , taking into Consideration the Great and Necessary Expences Your Majesty will sustain in the Prosecution of the War , wherein Your Majesty is now Engaged , did at their first Meeting in this present Session , unanimously Agree to Present Your Majesty with a Supply of Two Millions ; the greatest part of which they resolved to Charge upon their Lands , as the most speedy and effectual Way of Raising present money for this Occasion . But finding that great Abuses had been committed in Assessing the late Supply of the like Nature , they have endeavoured to Provide against those Abuses in raising of this present Tax ; the Consideration whereof hath taken up much of their Time , and produced a Bill of an unusual length , which I now offer to your Majesties Gracious Acceptance :

They have likewise Agreed upon a Bill for Declaring of their Rights and Liberties , which were so notoriously Violated in the late Reign , humbly desiring Your Majesty to give Life to it by the Royal Assent , that so it may remain not only a Security to them from the like Attempts hereafter , but be a lasting Monument to all Posterity , of what they owe to Your Majesty for their Deliverance .

EDINBVRGH ,

Re-printed by the Heir of Andrew Anderson , MCLXXXIX .
