die
Novembris
.
BOTH
Houses
of
Parliament
,
pursuant
to
the
last
Adjournment
,
His
Majesty
being
seated
in
his
Royal
Throne
,
in
the
House
of
Peers
,
commanded
the
Gentleman
Usher
of
the
Black
Rod
,
to
give
Notice
to
the
House
of
Commons
,
that
they
immediately
attend
His
Majesty
in
the
House
of
Peers
Where
being
come
,
His
Majesty
was
pleased
to
make
a
most
Gracious
Speech
to
both
Houses
of
Parliament
.
After
which
,
the
House
of
Commons
returned
to
their
own
House
,
and
Mr.
Speaker
reported
His
Majesty's
Speech
to
the
House
,
which
being
read
at
the
Clerk's
Table
,
is
as
followeth
.
My
Lords
and
Gentlemen
,
AFter
the
Storm
that
seemed
to
be
coming
upon
Us
,
when
we
parted
last
,
I
am
glad
to
meet
you
all
again
in
so
great
Peace
and
Quietness
;
God
Almighty
be
praised
,
by
whose
Blessing
that
Rebellion
was
suppressed
:
But
when
I
reflect
what
an
inconsiderable
number
of
Men
begun
it
,
and
how
long
they
carried
it
on
without
any
opposition
,
I
hope
every
body
will
be
convinced
,
that
the
Militia
,
which
have
hitherto
been
so
much
depended
on
,
is
not
sufficient
for
such
Occasions
,
and
that
there
is
nothing
but
a
good
Force
of
well
disciplined
Troops
in
constant
Pay
that
can
defend
us
,
from
such
as
either
at
Home
or
Abroad
,
are
disposed
to
disturb
us
;
and
in
truth
,
my
concern
for
the
Peace
and
Quiet
of
my
Subjects
,
as
well
as
for
the
Safety
of
the
Government
,
made
me
think
it
necessary
,
to
increase
the
number
to
the
proportion
I
have
done
,
that
I
owed
as
well
to
the
Honour
,
as
the
Security
of
the
Nation
,
whose
Reputation
was
so
infinitely
exposed
to
all
our
Neighbours
,
by
having
lain
open
to
this
late
wretched
Attempt
,
that
it
is
not
to
be
repaired
without
keeping
such
a
body
of
Men
on
foot
,
that
none
may
ever
have
a
thought
of
finding
us
again
,
so
miserably
unprovided
:
It
is
for
the
support
of
this
great
Charge
,
which
is
now
more
than
double
to
what
it
was
;
that
I
ask
your
assistance
in
giving
me
a
Supply
answerable
to
the
Expences
it
brings
along
with
it
;
and
I
cannot
doubt
,
but
what
I
have
begun
so
much
to
the
Honour
and
Defence
of
the
Government
,
will
be
continued
by
you
with
all
the
chearfulness
and
readiness
that
is
requisite
for
a
Work
of
so
great
Importance
.
Let
no
Man
take
Exception
,
that
there
are
some
Officers
in
the
Army
not
qualified
according
to
the
late
Tests
,
for
their
Imployment
:
The
Gentlemen
,
I
must
tell
you
,
are
are
most
of
them
well
known
to
me
,
and
having
formerly
served
me
on
several
Occasions
,
and
always
approved
the
Loyalty
of
their
Principles
by
their
Practices
;
I
think
them
now
fit
to
be
employed
under
me
,
and
will
deal
plainly
with
you
,
that
after
having
had
the
benefit
of
their
Services
in
such
a
time
of
Need
and
Danger
,
I
will
neither
expose
them
to
Disgrace
,
nor
my Self
to
the
want
of
them
,
if
there
should
be
another
Rebellion
to
make
them
necessary
to
Me
.
I
am
afraid
,
some
Men
may
be
so
Wicked
,
to
hope
,
and
expect
,
that
a
Difference
may
happen
between
You
and
Me
,
upon
this
Occasion
;
but
when
you
consider
what
Advantages
have
risen
to
us
in
a
few
Months
,
by
the
good
understanding
,
we
have
hitherto
had
,
what
wonderful
Effects
it
hath
already
produced
in
the
change
of
the
whole
Scene
of
Affairs
abroad
,
so
much
more
to
the
Honour
of
the
Nation
,
and
the
Figure
it
ought
to
make
in
the
World
,
and
that
nothing
can
hinder
a
further
Progress
in
this
way
to
all
our
satisfactions
,
but
Fears
and
Jealousies
amongst
our selves
.
I
will
not
apprehend
,
that
such
a
misfortune
can
befall
us
as
a
Division
,
or
but
a
Coldness
between
You
and
Us
;
nor
that
any
thing
can
shake
you
,
in
your
Steadiness
and
Loyalty
to
Me
,
who
by
God's
Blessing
,
will
ever
make
you
returns
of
Kindness
and
Protection
,
with
a
Resolution
to
venture
,
even
my
own
Life
,
in
the
Defence
of
the
true
Interest
of
this
Kingdom
.
The
Earl
of
Middleton
,
a
Member
of
the
House
of
Commons
,
and
one
of
His
Majesty's
Principal
Secretaries
of
State
,
moved
,
That
the
House
would
immediately
return
their
Thanks
to
his
Majesty
,
for
his
most
Gracious
Speech
,
and
also
proceed
to
the
Consideration
of
answering
the
ends
therein
mentioned
.
After
some
Debate
,
it
was
resolved
,
That
the
House
resolve
it self
into
a
Committee
of
the
whole
House
,
on
Thursday
Morning
next
at
Ten
of
the
Clock
,
to
take
into
Consideration
,
His
Majesty's
Speech
:
And
the
House
Adjourned
till
Thursday
the
12th
.
Instant
,
Ten
a
Clock
in
the
Morning
.
Jovis
12.
die
Novembis
.
1685.
The
House
resolved
it self
into
a
Committee
of
the
whole
House
,
to
take
into
Consideration
His
Majesty's
Speech
.
Mr.
Sollicitor
in
the
Chair
.
The
King's
Speech
was
Read
.
The
Lord
Middleton
moved
to
have
it
Considered
by
Paragraphs
.
Sir
W.
C.
Some
other
than
the
Militia
is
necessary
to
be
found
,
and
moved
a
Supply
for
the
Army
.
Ld.
P.
We
have
lately
had
an
unfortunate
Proof
,
how
little
we
are
to
depend
upon
the
Militia
,
and
therefore
fure
we
must
all
approve
of
His
Majesty's
increasing
the
Forces
to
what
they
are
.
France
is
formidable
,
now
Holland's
Forces
are
greatly
increased
,
and
we
must
be
strong
in
proportion
,
for
preservation
of
our selves
and
Flanders
,
and
toward
that
,
the
good
Harmony
'twixt
the
King
and
this
House
hath
greatly
contributed
.
It
has
had
two
other
great
Effects
abroad
.
1.
The
French
King's
Army
last
Spring
was
marching
towards
Germany
;
Crequey
was
far
advanced
,
but
when
the
King
of
France
heard
the
kindness
of
this
House
to
the
King
,
and
the
Defeat
of
Monmouth
,
he
recalled
them
.
2.
The
French
and
Spaniard
had
also
a
difference
about
Hay
and
Fonttereabeau
:
The
French
advanced
their
Troops
,
and
recalled
them
on
this
News
.
This
is
the
noble
Effect
of
the
Harmony
between
the
King
and
this
House
,
who
have
(
I
hope
)
brought
the
same
Heart
and
Loyalty
,
they
had
the
last
time
here
.
Hence
we
may
conclude
,
these
Levies
made
by
the
King
are
Just
,
Reasonable
,
and
Necessary
.
And
so
let
us
Vote
a
Supply
,
to
answer
His
Majesty's
present
Occasions
.
Ld.
R.
The
Question
is
,
whether
a
Supply
or
not
.
I
do
not
intend
to
Arraign
the
Militia
,
but
seeing
a
Soldier
is
a
Trade
,
and
must
(
as
all
other
Trades
are
)
be
learned
,
I
'le
shew
you
where
the
Militia
has
failed
,
viz.
At
Chatham
,
and
in
June
last
,
when
the
late
Duke
of
Monmouth
Landed
,
and
had
but
83
Men
,
and
300
l.
in
Money
,
who
in
spight
of
the
Militia
,
nay
,
in
spight
of
such
other
Force
as
the
King
could
spare
hence
,
brought
it
so
far
as
he
did
.
If
the
King
of
France
had
Landed
then
,
what
would
have
become
of
us
?
I
say
,
the
Militia
is
not
insignificant
,
but
an
additional
Force
is
necessary
,
and
so
a
Supply
that
is
answerable
to
it
.
Sir
T.
C.
If
it
shall
appear
to
you
,
that
the
King's
Revenue
he
hath
already
,
be
sufficient
to
supply
all
his
Occasions
,
what
then
need
we
give
him
more
.
't
is
moved
we
should
proceed
by
Paragraph
.
To
come
first
to
the
Militia
,
who
(
let
me
tell
you
)
did
considerable
Service
in
the
late
Rebellion
,
and
if
a
great
Noble-man
of
this
Kingdom
had
been
supplied
and
assisted
,
it
had
soon
been
quelled
.
A
Confidence
'twixt
the
King
and
his
People
is
absolutely
needful
,
let
it
come
whence
it
will
,
our
Happiness
consists
in
it
.
His
Majesty
,
on
his
first
entrance
on
the
Crown
,
told
us
,
He
had
been
mis-represented
,
and
that
he
would
preserve
the
Government
in
Church
and
State
now
Established
by
Law
,
and
to
maintain
us
in
all
our
just
Rights
and
Priviledges
.
Over-joyed
at
this
,
we
run
hastily
in
to
him
,
we
gave
four
Millions
(
reckoning
what
we
added
to
him
for
Life
was
worth
)
at
once
.
The
present
Revenue
is
1900000
l.
or
two
Millions
yearly
;
the
Charge
of
the
Government
(
admitting
this
Army
kept
up
)
is
but
1300000
l.
yearly
:
And
pray
let
us
not
forget
that
there
was
a
Bill
of
Exclusion
debated
in
this
House
;
I
was
here
,
and
shewed
my self
against
it
;
the
Arguments
for
it
were
,
that
we
should
,
in
case
of
a
Popish
Successor
,
have
a
Popish
Army
.
You
see
the
Act
of
the
Test
already
broken
,
but
pray
remember
what
the
late
Lord
Chancellor
told
you
,
when
the
late
King
(
of
Blessed
Memory
)
past
that
Act
,
(
the
words
were
to
this
Effect
.
)
By
this
Act
you
are
provided
against
Popery
,
that
no
Papist
can
possibly
creep
into
any
Employment
.
I
am
afflicted
greatly
at
this
Breach
of
our
Liberties
,
and
seeing
so
great
difference
betwixt
this
Speech
,
and
those
theretofore
made
,
cannot
but
believe
this
was
by
some
others
Advice
.
This
struck
at
here
,
is
our
All
,
and
I
wonder
there
have
been
any
Men
so
desperate
,
as
to
take
any
Employment
not
qualified
for
it
,
and
would
have
therefore
the
Question
,
that
a
standing
Army
is
destructive
to
the
Country
.
Sir
J.
E.
The
number
of
the
standing
Forces
is
about
14
or
15000
Men
,
and
they
were
about
half
so
many
before
,
and
I
conceive
we
are
not
safe
without
these
Forces
to
aid
and
help
the
Militia
.
I
am
not
for
laying
the
Militia
aside
,
but
I
say
,
there
is
a
necessity
for
a
standing
Force
.
Half
the
Charge
of
those
Forces
is
about
300000
l.
Yearly
,
the
whole
being
600000
l.
Yearly
,
I
conceive
is
all
we
need
to
give
for
it
,
of
that
there
remains
200000
l.
unreceived
of
the
400000
l.
given
last
,
so
the
200000
l.
may
go
towatds
it
,
and
the
rest
may
be
supplied
by
a
Tax
on
Commodities
;
as
for
balancing
of
Trade
,
may
better
be
charged
than
not
.
I
am
for
a
Supply
.
Sir
H.
C.
I
stand
up
for
,
and
would
not
have
the
Militia
reflected
on
,
it
was
very
useful
in
the
late
Rebellion
of
Monmouth
,
it
kept
him
from
Bristol
and
Exeter
;
and
is
as
good
as
any
Army
we
can
raise
against
any
at
home
.
Mr.
C.
I
am
for
vindicating
the
Militia
.
The
just
cause
for
a
Supply
,
and
would
give
it
,
and
to
Reward
the
Officers
not
qualified
,
or
take
them
off
some
other
way
.
Mr.
A.
I
dread
a
standing
Army
,
but
am
for
a
Supply
.
Mr.
W.
Kings
in
old
time
used
to
send
,
not
only
an
account
of
their
Revenues
,
but
of
the
Charge
they
were
going
to
be
at
,
to
the
Parliament
,
when
they
demanded
Aids
.
Henry
the
Fifth
had
but
56000
l.
and
Queen
Elizabeth
had
160000
and
odd
pounds
Yearly
.
I
am
for
for
a
Bill
for
making
the
Militia
useful
,
and
would
know
if
we
give
Money
thus
,
it
be
not
for
setting
up
a
standing
Army
.
I
am
for
good
Guards
.
Sir
W.
T.
The
Kingdom
is
guarded
by
Law
;
we
are
now
in
perfect
Peace
;
the
King
is
both
feared
and
loved
,
an
Army
little
needed
;
Men
justly
afraid
:
That
which
made
the
last
Rebellion
as
it
was
,
the
Man
that
headed
it
,
was
a
Favourite
of
the
Faction
,
and
though
he
had
got
such
a
number
,
he
was
beaten
by
1800
Men
only
.
I
am
against
an
Army
.
Mr.
S.
This
last
Rebellion
has
contributed
to
our
future
Peace
,
and
those
engaged
in
it
have
sung
their
Penitential
Psalm
,
and
their
Punishment
rejoyced
at
by
all
good
Persons
.
I
do
not
commend
the
Militia
,
yet
it
is
not
to
be
rejected
,
but
to
be
new
modelled
;
and
for
my
part
,
I
had
rather
pay
double
to
these
,
(
meaning
for
keeping
up
the
Militia
)
from
whom
I
fear
nothing
,
than
half
so
much
to
those
,
of
whom
I
must
ever
be
afraid
;
and
say
what
you
will
,
't
is
a
Standing-Army
.
The
last
Force
preserved
the
Peace
,
and
was
sufficient
to
do
it
in
the
late
King's
Time
,
and
is
now
;
all
the
Profit
and
Security
of
this
Nation
,
is
in
our
Ships
;
and
had
there
been
the
least
Ship
in
the
Channel
,
it
would
have
disappointed
him
.
Supporting
an
Army
,
is
maintaining
so
many
idle
Persons
to
Lord
it
over
the
rest
of
the
Subjects
.
The
King
declared
,
no
Soldiers
should
Quarter
in
Private
Houses
;
but
that
they
did
:
That
they
should
pay
for
all
Things
they
took
;
but
they
paid
nothing
for
almost
all
they
took
.
And
for
Officers
employed
not
taking
the
Tests
,
is
dispensing
with
all
the
Laws
at
once
;
and
if
these
Men
be
good
and
kind
,
we
know
not
whether
it
proceeds
from
their
Generosity
,
or
Principles
:
For
we
must
remember
,
't
is
Treason
for
any
Man
to
be
reconciled
to
the
Church
of
Rome
;
for
the
Pope
,
by
Law
,
is
declared
Enemy
to
this
Kingdom
.
A
Supply
given
,
as
moved
for
,
is
a
kind
of
an
establishing
an
Army
by
Act
of
Parliament
;
and
when
they
have
got
the
Power
into
their
Hands
,
we
are
then
to
derive
it
from
their
Courtesie
;
and
therefore
I
would
have
the
Question
be
,
That
the
Safety
of
the
Kingdom
doth
not
consist
with
a
Standing
Force
;
And
this
it
may
be
will
disappoint
these
Persons
,
that
make
it
their
Business
this
way
,
to
make
themselves
useful
.
Sir
T.
C.
then
moved
an
Address
.
Sir
Tho
.
M.
I
am
first
for
a
Supply
;
that
hinders
not
an
Address
:
His
Majesty
,
in
his
Speech
,
only
says
,
That
the
Militia's
not
sufficient
.
The
late
Long
Parliament
always
owned
some
Force
necessary
:
We
are
not
to
name
the
Number
,
the
King
is
best
Judge
of
that
;
a
great
Soldier
,
and
a
good
Prince
.
For
I
hear
the
Number
is
14
or
15000
;
and
I
am
for
a
Supply
,
and
never
saw
,
but
Money
was
always
one
part
of
the
Bus'ness
of
every
Parliament
.
There
was
a
bitter
Spirit
in
the
three
last
Parliaments
,
not
yet
well
allay'd
;
and
so
I
conclude
,
a
considerable
Force
needful
,
besides
the
Militia
.
I
call
those
raised
Guards
,
and
would
have
a
Supply
given
to
support
His
Majesty's
Extraordinary
Occasions
.
The
Navy
wants
6
or
800000
l.
and
I
would
give
any
Reason
for
it
;
so
a
Supply
may
,
without
a
Negative
,
be
given
.
Serj
.
M.
There
is
already
a
Law
,
That
no
Man
shall
,
on
any
Occasion
whatsoever
,
rise
against
the
King
:
Lords
,
and
Deputy-Lieutenants
,
have
Power
to
Disarm
the
Disaffected
:
If
you
give
thus
a
Supply
,
it
is
for
an
Army
;
and
then
,
may
not
this
Army
be
made
of
those
that
will
not
take
the
Test
:
Which
Act
was
not
designed
a
Punishment
for
the
Papists
,
but
a
Protection
for
our selves
;
and
giving
this
Money
,
is
for
an
Army
:
I
am
against
it
.
Sir
R.
T.
I
must
concur
with
the
King
,
That
the
Militia
is
not
sufficient
:
I
am
for
mending
the
Militia
,
and
to
make
it
such
as
the
King
and
Kingdom
may
confide
in
it
:
To
trust
to
Mercenary
Force
alone
,
is
to
give
up
all
our
Liberties
at
once
.
If
you
provide
a
constant
Supply
to
support
them
,
by
setting
up
an
Army
,
Sir
Thomas
Meers
has
turned
it
into
a
Supply
for
the
Navy
.
There
is
no
Country
in
the
World
,
has
a
Law
to
set
up
an
Army
;
we
have
already
made
an
ample
Supply
for
the
Government
.
't
is
for
Kings
to
come
to
the
House
,
from
Time
to
Time
,
on
Extraordinary
Occasions
;
and
if
this
Army
be
provided
for
by
Law
,
they
will
never
more
come
to
this
House
.
I
am
for
giving
for
the
Extraordinary
Charge
past
.
Armies
are
useful
,
when
Occasion
is
for
them
;
but
if
you
Establish
them
,
you
can
Disband
them
no
more
.
I
am
for
a
Supply
,
but
not
on
this
Score
of
the
Militia
:
There
was
not
a
Company
formed
'till
1588
;
and
as
soon
as
Queen
Elizabeth
had
done
with
her
Army
,
she
Disbanded
it
.
Armies
have
been
fatal
often
to
Princes
.
The
Army
,
in
the
late
King's
Time
,
often
turned
out
their
Leaders
.
I
am
for
going
to
the
House
,
for
leave
,
for
a
Bill
to
mend
the
Militia
.
Sir
W.
C.
The
Beef-Eaters
,
at
this
rate
,
may
be
called
an
Army
.
Sir
T.
H.
The
Colonel
may
say
what
he
will
of
the
Beef-Eaters
,
as
he
Nick-names
them
;
but
they
are
establish'd
by
Act
of
Parliament
.
Mr.
S.
I
can
make
out
,
that
the
King's
Revenue
is
sufficient
,
to
maintain
the
Force
on
foot
.
The
Question
:
That
a
Supply
be
given
to
His
Majesty
.
Sir
Tho
.
C.
moved
,
That
the
Words
,
(
toward
the
Support
of
the
Additional
Forces
)
may
be
added
.
The
Committee
divided
.
Yea's
156
,
No's
225.
It
was
carried
in
the
Negative
;
and
then
these
Votes
past
:
That
a
Supply
be
given
to
His
Majesty
;
and
that
the
House
be
moved
,
to
bring
in
a
Bill
,
to
make
the
Militia
useful
.
And
then
Adjourned
'till
Nine
a
Clock
to
Morrow
Morning
.
Lunae

1685.
Mr.
Sollicitor
Reports
,
That
the
Committe
appointed
had
drawn
up
an
Address
to
His
Majesty
;
which
was
read
,
and
agreed
to
,
and
is
as
follows
,
viz.
Most
Gracious
Sovereign
,
WE
your
Majesty's
most
Loyal
and
Faithful
Subjects
,
the
Commons
in
Parliament
assembled
,
do
in
the
first
place
(
as
in
Duty
bound
)
return
your
Majesty
our
most
humble
and
hearty
Thanks
for
your
great
Care
and
Conduct
in
suppressing
the
late
Rebellion
,
which
threatned
the
Overthrow
of
this
Government
,
both
in
Church
and
State
,
to
the
Extirpation
of
our
Religion
as
by
Law
establish'd
,
which
is
most
dear
unto
us
,
and
which
your
Majesty
hath
been
pleased
to
give
us
repeated
Assurances
you
will
always
defend
and
maintain
,
which
with
all
grateful
Hearts
we
shall
ever
acknowledge
.
We
further
crave
leave
to
acquaint
your
Majesty
,
that
we
have
with
all
Duty
and
Readiness
taken
into
our
Consideration
your
Majesty's
Gracious
Speech
to
us
:
And
as
to
that
part
of
it
,
relating
to
the
Officers
in
the
Armies
not
qualified
for
their
Employments
,
according
to
an
Act
of
Parliament
made
in
the
25th
.
Year
of
the
Reign
of
your
Royal
Brother
,
Intituled
,
An
Act
for
preventing
Dangers
which
may
happen
from
Popish
Recusants
.
We
do
out
of
our
bounden
Duty
,
humbly
Represent
unto
your
Majesty
,
That
these
Officers
cannot
by
Law
be
capable
of
their
Employments
,
and
that
the
Incapacities
they
bring
upon
themselves
that
way
,
can
no
way
be
taken
off
but
by
an
Act
of
Parliament
.
Therefore
out
of
that
great
Reverence
and
Duty
we
owe
unto
your
Majesty
,
who
have
been
graciously
pleas'd
to
take
notice
of
their
Services
to
your
Majesty
,
we
are
preparing
a
Bill
to
pass
both
Houses
,
for
your
Royal
Assent
,
to
Indemnifie
them
from
the
Penalties
they
have
now
incurred
,
and
because
the
continuing
of
them
in
their
Employments
may
be
taken
to
be
a
Dispensing
with
that
Law
without
an
Act
of
Parliament
,
the
Consequence
of
which
is
of
the
greatest
Concern
to
the
Rights
of
all
your
Majesty's
Subjects
,
and
to
all
the
Laws
made
for
the
Security
of
their
Religion
:
We
therefore
,
the
Knights
,
Citizens
,
and
Burgesses
of
your
Majesty's
House
of
Commons
,
do
most
humbly
beseech
your
Majesty
,
that
you
would
be
most
graciously
pleased
to
give
such
Directions
therein
,
that
no
Apprehensions
or
Jealousies
may
remain
in
the
Hearts
of
your
Majesty's
most
Loyal
Subjects
.
A
Motion
being
made
for
going
to
the
Lords
for
their
Concurrence
,
Some
debated
,
that
it
would
carry
with
it
the
greater
weight
,
and
be
more
likely
to
have
good
effect
;
and
if
the
Concurrence
of
the
Lords
were
asked
,
the
Judges
in
the
Lords
House
would
have
an
Opportunity
of
speaking
their
Opinion
to
it
.
Others
oppos'd
it
,
for
the
Lords
having
already
given
their
Thanks
to
the
King
for
his
Speech
,
as
being
contented
therewith
,
and
that
it
would
be
more
for
the
Honour
of
the
House
of
Commons
to
Address
alone
.
Those
that
were
against
the
thing
it self
when
it
past
first
,
were
about
going
to
the
Lords
for
their
Concurrence
.
The
House
divided
.
For
asking
Concurrence
208.
Against
it
212.
It
past
in
the
Negative
.
Then
the
Members
of
the
House
that
were
of
His
Majesty's
Privy
Council
,
were
ordered
to
know
when
His
Majesty
would
be
pleas'd
to
be
Attended
therewith
.
Mr.
Sollicitor
in
the
Chair
.
The
House
being
Resolved
into
a
Committee
of
the
whole
House
,
to
consider
of
a
Supply
for
His
Majesty
.
The
Lord
Campden
moved
200000
l.
to
be
given
to
the
King
for
a
Supply
,
which
with
200000
l.
confessed
of
what
was
given
for
Suppressing
the
late
Rebellion
,
makes
400000
l.
and
was
seconded
.
Sir
J.
E.
said
,
that
1200000
l.
was
needful
,
and
that
such
a
Sum
had
been
given
before
in
the
same
Session
,
when
there
was
an
Address
of
this
kind
made
to
the
late
King
.
Sir
T.
C.
We
have
this
Session
already
given
Customs
and
Excises
for
His
Majesty's
Life
.
-
Additional
Duty
on
Wines
8
Years
-
Yearly
150000
l.
-
Tax
on
Sugar
and
Tobacco
8
Years
-
Yearly
200000
l.
-
Tax
on
Linnen
and
East-India
Commodities
5
Years
-
Yearly
120000
l.
In
all
six
Milions
.
Let
us
give
little
now
,
to
have
Opportunity
to
give
more
another
time
;
for
if
we
give
too
much
now
,
we
shall
have
nothing
left
to
give
;
and
if
we
proceed
thus
,
what
we
have
will
be
taken
from
us
.
Sir
E.
J.
To
give
1200000
l.
now
,
because
such
a
Sum
has
been
given
,
is
no
Argument
;
once
2400000
l.
was
given
here
,
and
therefore
should
it
be
so
now
?
200000
l.
with
what
is
already
confess'd
to
be
in
Cash
,
makes
400000
l.
and
that
will
maintain
the
Charge
one
Year
and
better
;
and
giving
all
at
once
,
is
doubting
the
Affection
of
the
People
.
Ld.
P.
You
unanimously
voted
a
Supply
last
Night
,
and
naming
so
little
now
,
is
not
so
ingenuous
a
way
of
proceeding
.
We
are
told
,
six
Millions
have
been
this
Sessions
given
;
I
would
have
you
,
Gentlemen
,
take
notice
,
the
giving
His
Majesty
what
the
late
King
had
,
is
but
setling
a
Revenue
that
before
was
not
sufficient
for
the
support
of
the
Government
;
what
was
given
besides
,
was
part
for
the
late
King's
Servants
,
part
for
the
Fleet
and
Stores
,
and
part
for
suppressing
the
late
Rebellion
.
To
give
so
little
now
,
is
not
to
enable
the
King
to
defend
and
preserve
us
,
which
he
has
promised
to
do
.
I
am
for
1200000
l.
Ld.
R.
The
Question
is
for
200000
l.
or
for
1200000l
.
What
has
been
given
in
this
matter
already
,
ought
not
to
be
weighed
at
all
;
and
what
is
called
six
Millions
,
had
all
uses
(
when
given
)
tack'd
to
it
.
The
Revenue
his
Brother
had
,
had
Uses
enough
,
as
—
The
Wine
and
Vinegar
Act
,
rated
at
yearly
150000
l.
For
the
Fleet
,
Stores
,
Ordnance
,
and
Servants
.
The
Sugar
and
Tobacco
Act
,
rated
at
yearly
200000
l.
For
the
said
Stores
,
Ordinary
,
and
Fleet
—
And
the
Additional
Duty
on
French
Linnen
and
East-India
Commodities
,
rated
at
yearly
120000
l.
For
suppressing
the
late
Rebellion
—
So
there
are
Uses
for
all
that
,
and
what
is
now
given
,
must
be
taken
for
supporting
the
Forces
—
And
therefore
I
am
for
1200000
l.
Sir
W.
C.
Two
hundred
thousand
pound
is
much
too
little
:
Soldiers
move
not
without
Pay
.
No
Penny
,
no
Pater
Noster
.
Mr.
E.
Moved
for
700000
l.
and
mention'd
to
have
it
rais'd
upon
the
new
Buildings
,
which
might
produce
400000
l.
and
a
Poll
Bill
for
the
other
300000
l.
Mr.
W.
If
I
knew
the
King's
Revenue
were
short
,
I
would
give
as
far
as
any
Man
;
but
now
we
are
going
for
this
particular
Use
,
and
if
this
200000
l.
will
not
do
,
how
can
we
be
sure
that
1200000
l.
will
?
—
If
we
give
too
little
now
,
hereafter
,
if
we
see
Occasion
,
we
may
give
more
;
but
if
we
now
give
too
much
,
I
do
not
see
how
we
shall
ever
have
it
again
,
though
I
have
heard
of
such
a
thing
in
Queen
Elizabeth's
time
.
The
King
(
reckoning
what
he
had
of
his
own
into
it
)
has
600000
l.
yearly
more
than
the
late
King
had
,
and
when
there
is
need
,
I
am
for
more
,
but
now
only
400000
l.
and
to
raise
that
easie
you
will
be
put
to
it
:
How
will
you
do
it
?
If
you
lay
it
upon
Trade
,
that
will
make
it
Revenue
,
and
when
once
in
the
Crown
for
some
time
,
it
will
never
get
out
again
.
I
am
for
only
400000
l.
Ld.
C.
If
the
King
wants
200000
l.
I
would
give
him
200000
l.
but
I
am
for
giving
no
more
than
he
really
wants
.
—
Mr.
W.
We
give
,
because
we
are
ask'd
;
I
am
for
the
least
Sum
,
because
for
an
Army
,
and
I
would
be
rid
of
them
as
soon
as
I
could
;
and
am
more
now
against
it
than
I
lately
was
,
being
satisfied
that
the
Country
is
weary
of
the
Oppression
of
the
Soldiers
,
weary
of
Free
Quarters
,
Plunder
,
and
some
Felons
,
for
which
they
have
no
Complaint
,
no
Redress
:
And
since
I
heard
Mr.
Blathwait
tell
us
,
how
strict
Rules
were
prescribed
them
by
the
King
,
I
find
by
their
behaviour
,
the
King
cannot
govern
them
himself
,
and
then
what
will
become
of
us
?
Sir
W.
H.
The
Rebellion
is
suppress'd
,
and
the
Army
is
urged
to
be
small
,
but
it
is
so
thick
of
Officers
,
that
by
filling
up
the
Troops
,
which
is
easily
at
any
time
done
,
increases
their
Number
to
a
third
part
more
.
I
am
for
providing
for
them
but
one
whole
Year
only
,
and
only
for
400000
l.
Mr.
C.
I
agree
to
the
400000
l.
We
owe
besides
that
a
Duty
to
our
Country
,
and
are
bound
by
the
Duty
to
leave
our
Posterity
as
free
in
our
Liberties
and
Properties
as
we
can
▪
and
there
being
Officers
now
in
the
Army
,
that
have
not
taken
the
Test
,
greatly
flats
my
Zeal
for
it
,
and
makes
me
esteem
the
Militia
,
which
if
we
well
modelled
,
and
plac'd
in
mens
hands
of
Interest
in
their
Country
,
we
are
certain
,
and
so
is
the
King
secure
;
for
there
is
no
such
Security
of
any
Man's
Loyalty
,
as
a
good
Estate
.
Reasons
I
have
heard
given
against
Armies
,
that
they
Debauch'd
the
Manners
of
all
the
People
,
their
Wives
,
Daughters
,
and
Servants
.
Men
do
not
go
to
Church
where
they
Quarter
,
for
fear
Mischief
to
be
done
at
their
Houses
in
their
absence
.
Plowmen
and
Servants
quit
all
Country
Employments
to
turn
Soldiers
;
and
then
a
Court
Martial
in
time
of
Peace
,
is
most
terrible
.
In
Peace
,
Justices
of
it
,
and
the
Civil
Magistrate
ought
to
Punish
,
if
applied
to
.
And
what
Occasion
then
can
be
for
them
?
Is
it
to
suppress
a
Rebellion
in
time
of
an
Invasion
?
all
then
will
go
towards
that
.
Or
is
it
to
Assist
his
Allies
?
the
House
will
give
Aid
when
wanted
on
that
score
.
The
Guards
I
am
not
against
,
those
shewed
themselves
useful
in
Venner's
Business
,
and
the
late
Rebellion
;
I
am
not
against
them
,
I
only
speak
of
those
that
have
been
new
rais'd
.
Col.
A.
I
'll
tell
you
the
use
of
these
Forces
;
they
expected
the
rising
of
a
great
Party
,
and
were
not
these
Forces
standing
,
to
prevent
a
Rebellion
,
you
would
have
one
in
few
days
.
Mr.
B.
If
any
Disorders
have
been
committed
,
it
is
not
yet
too
late
to
have
them
redress'd
;
and
Martial-Law
(
if
by
that
clear'd
)
does
not
hinder
proceeding
at
Common-Law
for
the
same
thing
.
Four
hundred
thousand
pound
is
not
enough
;
no
State
near
us
in
Proportion
,
but
what
exceeds
this
small
number
of
Men
.
Sir
T.
C.
Seven
Millions
of
Men
in
England
;
the
strength
of
Men
in
England
consists
in
our
Native
,
in
which
(
for
want
of
Men
)
France
can
never
equal
us
;
their
Trade
will
not
breed
them
;
a
Ship
of
50
Tuns
will
carry
100000
l.
of
their
Goods
,
Linnen
and
Silks
.
Ours
are
bulky
Goods
,
and
Employs
Twenty
times
more
,
unless
you
(
by
burdening
of
Trade
)
let
them
into
the
West-Indies
.
Armies
are
not
manageable
,
Commanders
have
been
very
often
known
to
Rebel
:
The
measure
of
our
Supply
is
our
Security
.
His
Majesty's
Declaration
says
,
if
on
Complaint
,
the
Officers
give
no
Redress
,
then
Complain
to
the
King
;
and
so
Justice
is
balked
by
this
hardship
put
upon
the
Complainant
.
Sir
W.
T.
moved
to
have
it
temporary
from
year
to
year
.
Sir
C.
M.
Let
it
be
to
enable
His
Majesty
to
preserve
us
in
Peace
at
home
,
and
to
make
His
Majesty
Formidable
abroad
for
1200000
l.
as
a
Supply
answerable
to
the
Loyalty
of
this
House
.
Sir
H.
C.
This
House
was
so
forward
to
give
last
time
,
that
the
King's
Ministers
gave
their
stop
to
it
.
Sir
J.
W.
The
Use
is
to
direct
the
Quantum
.
I
see
a
present
necessity
for
continuing
these
Forces
,
till
the
Militia
is
made
useful
;
I
am
for
trying
two
years
,
and
so
for
400000
l.
and
so
leave
the
Door
open
for
coming
hither
to
give
another
time
.
Sir
T.
M.
The
Principle
of
the
Rebel
Party
is
never
to
Repent
.
I
am
for
1200000
l.
and
if
so
much
be
given
,
I
would
have
you
,
Gentlemen
,
to
remember
the
Fanaticks
are
the
cause
of
it
.
Mr.
P.
An
Island
may
be
attaqued
,
notwithstanding
any
Fleet
.
Ours
is
much
mended
,
a
Thousand
Men
daily
at
Work
,
ever
since
we
gave
Money
for
it
,
and
not
one
Man
in
it
an
Officer
,
that
has
not
taken
the
Test
.
Col.
O.
New
Troops
are
not
so
good
as
old
,
and
more
subject
to
commit
Disorders
,
but
will
be
less
so
,
when
they
are
longer
under
Discipline
.
The
King
of
France
never
sends
Troops
to
his
Army
,
till
they
have
been
two
or
three
years
on
foot
in
a
Garrison
.
Sir
T.
C.
The
Trained
Bands
at
Newberry-Fight
did
brave
things
.
Then
the
Question
was
put
,
That
a
Sum
,
not
exceeding
400000
l.
should
be
given
to
the
King
.
The
Previous
Question
being
put
.
Yeas
167.
Noes
179.
It
passed
in
the
Negative
.
Then
the
Question
was
put
for
700000
l.
and
no
more
.
Yeas
—
212.
Noes
—
170.
So
it
pass'd
in
the
Affirmative
.
The
Question
for
1200000
l.
being
thus
waved
,
it
was
then
Ordered
,
That
the
Committee
of
the
whole
House
should
to
Morrow
proceed
on
His
Majesty's
Supply
,
and
on
Wednesday
to
consider
of
Heads
for
a
Militia-Bill
.
And
then
Adjourned
till
Nine
of
the
Clock
to
morrow
Morning
.
Martis
17.
die
Novembris
.
1685.
The
House
Resolved
it self
into
a
Committee
of
the
whole
House
,
to
consider
the
way
of
raising
His
Majesty's
Supply
.
Mr.
North
in
the
Chair
.
Sir
J.
E.
Moved
,
that
an
Additional
Duty
upon
Wines
might
yield
400000
l.
yearly
;
and
other
Goods
he
named
,
about
600000
l.
yearly
,
which
with
the
continuance
for
some
years
of
the
late
Act
of
Imposition
of
French
Linnens
,
and
East-India
Silks
,
&c.
might
make
up
the
Sum
;
and
told
the
House
,
he
propos'd
this
way
,
to
avoid
a
Land-Tax
.
The
Goods
he
named
to
be
rated
,
were
Soap
,
Potashes
,
to
pay
7
d
.
½
to
treble
;
unwrought
Silks
,
Deals
,
Planks
;
and
other
Boards
to
double
.
Raisins
and
Pruans
2
s
.
per Cent
.
to
double
.
Iron
now
pays
7
s
.
per Cent
.
to
double
.
Copperas
18
s
.
per Cent
.
to
double
.
Oyls
to
8
or
10
per
Tun
,
pay
now
30
s
.
Drugs
will
bear
⅔
more
than
rated
.
Drugs
and
Spice
from
Holland
,
Salt
,
and
all
Prohibited
Goods
,
20
l.
per Cent
.
And
this
I
hope
may
do
what
is
now
intended
to
be
rais'd
at
this
time
,
supposing
4
l.
per
Tun
on
French
Wines
.
Sir
D.
N.
Moved
much
to
the
same
effect
,
and
enlarged
on
it
,
and
said
,
the
Book
of
Rates
had
been
well
consider'd
,
and
these
Goods
capable
of
bearing
the
Duties
propos'd
;
but
if
the
King
took
the
4
l.
per
Tun
on
French
Wines
at
twenty
thousand
pounds
yearly
,
he
would
be
a
loser
by
it
.
Other
Gentlemen
insisted
on
having
French
Linnen
higher
charg'd
.
The
Pepper
that
is
expended
here
,
paying
one
penny
a
pound
,
might
pay
one
penny
more
,
and
so
yield
70
or
80000
l.
yearly
;
and
that
Bullion
exported
to
the
Indies
,
might
bear
5
l.
per Cent
.
and
encourage
the
sending
of
other
Goods
(
in
some
measure
)
instead
of
it
thither
.
Sir
R.
T.
Moved
Subsidies
or
Land-Tax
;
but
the
House
inclining
to
what
was
first
propos'd
,
and
being
consented
to
by
the
King's
Ministers
,
seemed
contented
with
it
;
so
was
voted
,
That
an
Act
for
laying
an
Imposition
on
French
Linnens
,
East-India
Goods
,
Brandy
,
&c.
should
be
continued
for
five
years
from
Midsummer
1690.
and
be
given
to
His
Majesty
as
400000
l.
And
that
An
Imposition
of
4
l.
per
Tun
be
laid
upon
all
French
Wines
,
on
which
to
be
rais'd
300000
l.
which
makes
up
the
700000
l.
The
time
how
long
this
4
l.
per
Tun
shall
be
laid
,
is
not
yet
determined
,
an
Account
being
first
to
be
brought
from
the
Custom-House
Books
,
of
what
number
of
Tuns
are
yearly
Imported
;
't
was
said
100000
Tuns
:
Others
affirm'd
,
there
were
near
double
so
many
.
The
House
seemed
to
incline
to
8
or
10
years
,
and
that
the
Duties
already
on
it
should
still
continue
for
the
same
time
;
which
4
l.
per
Tun
,
with
the
Duty
it
already
pays
,
is
near
20
l.
per
Tun
.
And
then
the
House
Adjourn'd
till
Nine
of
the
Clock
to
morrow
Morning
.
Mercurii
18.
die
Novembris
.
1685.
Mr.
Speaker
Acquaints
the
House
,
That
His
Majesty
having
been
yesterday
Attended
in
the
Banqueting-House
at
Whitehall
with
the
Address
of
Thanks
from
this
House
for
his
great
Care
and
Conduct
,
and
suppressing
the
late
Rebellion
;
and
likewise
concerning
the
Officers
of
the
Army
not
qualified
for
their
Employments
,
was
Graciously
pleas'd
to
Return
an
Answer
,
to
the
effect
following
.
My
Lords
and
Gentlemen
,
I
Did
not
expect
such
an
Address
from
the
House
of
Commons
.
For
having
so
lately
recommended
to
your
Consideration
the
great
Advantages
a
good
Understanding
between
us
had
produc'd
us
in
a
very
short
time
,
and
given
you
warning
of
Fears
and
Jealousies
amongst
our selves
.
I
had
reason
to
hope
,
that
the
Reputation
God
had
blessed
me
with
in
the
World
,
would
have
seated
and
confirm'd
a
good
Confidence
in
you
for
me
,
and
of
all
that
I
say
to
you
.
But
however
you
proceed
on
your
Part
,
I
will
be
steady
in
all
my
Promises
I
have
made
to
you
,
and
be
just
to
my
Word
in
this
,
and
all
my
other
Speeches
.
The
said
Answer
was
read
with
all
due
Reverence
and
Respect
,
and
there
being
a
profound
Silence
in
the
House
for
some
time
after
it
.
Mr.
W.
moved
,
that
a
Day
might
be
appointed
to
consider
on
His
Majesty's
Answer
to
the
late
Address
of
this
House
,
and
named
Friday
next
.
Mr.
C.
Stood
up
,
and
seconded
that
Motion
,
and
said
,
I
hope
we
are
all
English
Men
,
and
are
not
to
be
frighted
out
of
our
Duty
by
a
few
high
Words
.
Ld.
P.
took
present
Exceptions
against
the
Words
,
which
,
as
is
usual
,
were
writ
down
by
the
Clerk
,
and
Mr.
C.
call'd
upon
to
explain
—
Mr.
C.
said
,
he
intended
no
ill
by
it
;
and
that
he
did
not
believe
these
the
Words
:
And
that
if
he
had
said
any
thing
that
had
given
that
House
Offence
,
he
was
sorry
,
and
would
ask
them
Pardon
for
it
.
Sir
C.
M.
It
is
not
enough
to
say
these
were
not
the
Words
,
but
you
are
to
say
what
the
Words
were
.
Mr.
C.
I
do
not
make
set
Speeches
:
I
cannot
repeat
them
;
and
if
they
did
drop
from
me
,
I
ask
the
King
and
you
Pardon
.
So
these
being
took
for
granted
to
have
been
the
Words
,
Mr.
C.
as
the
Custom
is
in
such
Cases
,
withdrew
into
the
Speaker's
Chamber
.
Sir
J.
T.
Not
our
own
Honour
,
but
the
King
is
concern'd
in
this
;
and
moved
,
that
he
should
be
brought
to
the
Bar
,
and
there
to
receive
a
Reprimand
from
Mr.
Speaker
for
it
.
Sir
H.
C.
a
Gentleman
of
great
Loyalty
,
never
before
of
the
House
,
desired
he
might
have
what
Favour
he
could
.
Mr.
A.
A
great
Reflection
upon
this
House
,
if
this
be
let
pass
.
Several
spoke
of
his
Loyalty
,
but
none
to
Excuse
him
for
this
.
Ld.
P.
Send
him
to
the
Tower
.
Ld.
M.
The
meaning
of
this
seems
like
an
Incendiary
.
The
Tower
!
This
needs
no
aggravation
;
a
Reprimand
for
an
Offence
to
this
House
,
might
do
;
but
this
does
not
end
there
,
and
't
is
a
question
whether
it
be
in
the
Power
of
the
House
to
pass
it
by
,
the
Offence
is
given
to
the
King
as
well
as
you
:
I
am
for
calling
him
to
the
Bar
in
the
first
place
.
But
't
was
then
Order'd
,
that
Mr.
C.
for
his
undecent
Speech
,
should
be
sent
to
the
Tower
.
And
then
Mr.
S.
said
,
Now
this
is
over
,
I
cannot
but
consent
to
those
that
moved
for
a
day
,
to
consider
of
His
Majesty's
Answer
,
nor
think
my self
as
honest
as
I
should
be
,
if
I
now
hold
my
tongue
.
And
if
we
do
take
this
Matter
into
Consideration
,
I
doubt
not
but
we
shall
behave
our selves
with
that
decency
to
His
Majesty
,
that
we
may
hope
for
a
more
satisfactory
Answer
,
than
as
yet
this
seems
to
be
to
me
.
Sir
J.
E.
I
hope
that
acquiescence
that
was
this
morning
in
this
House
,
on
reading
His
Majesty's
Answer
,
has
ended
this
matter
.
I
do
think
the
King
will
do
all
what
he
promised
,
and
am
for
resting
there
Sir
T.
M.
mov'd
to
Adjourn
,
and
said
,
he
did
not
know
what
to
say
to
it
.
Sir
T.
C.
For
that
very
Reason
I
move
for
a
day
to
consider
of
it
;
and
I
do
not
think
we
shew
that
Respect
we
ought
to
do
to
the
King
if
we
do
not
.
And
then
the
House
Adjourn'd
to
Nine
of
the
Clock
to
Morrow
Morning
.
