His Majesties MOST GRACIOUS SPEECH To both Houses of PARLIAMENT.

My Lords and Gentlemen,

I AM come to Give you Thanks for the Supplies, Provided for Carrying on the War, in which We are Engaged, and at the same Time, to Conclude this Session, which cannot be Continued longer without Manifest Pre­judice to the Ends for which those Sup­plies are Given. The Season of the Year making it so Necessary for Me to be A­broad, that it were to be Wish'd Our Bu­siness at Home would have Allowed Me to have been there sooner.

I will take Care to Place the Administra­tion of Affairs, during My Absence, in such Persons, on whose Care and Fidelity I can Entirely Depend; And I Doubt not, My Lords and Gentlemen, but every one of you, in your several Stations, will be As­sisting to them: This is what I Require of you, and that you be more than Ordinarily Vigilant in Preserving the Publick Peace.

Then the Lord Keeper, by His Majesties Command, said,

My Lords and Gentlemen,

IT is His Majesties Royal Will and Plea­sure, that this Parliament should be Pro­rogued to Tuesday the Eighteenth day of June next; and this Parliament is accordingly Prorogued to Tuesday the Eighteenth day of June next.

FINIS.
