them their coming thither after this his Majesty came by barge with Trumpets sounding from Whitehall to Westminster where being seated with his Impepiall Crown on his head in the house of Peers the Commons coming thither with their Speaker the King presented them with their ensuing Speech My Lords and Gentlemen of the House of Commons I Know the Visit I make you this day is not necessary is not of course yet if there were no more in it it would not be strange that I come to see what you and I have so long desired to see the Lords Spiritual and Temporal and the Commons of England met together to Consult for the Peace and safety of Church and State by which Parliaments are restored to their Primitive Lustre and Integrity I do heartily congratulate with you for this day But My Lords and Gentlemen as My coming hither at this time is somewhat extraordinary so the truth is the occasion of My coming is more extraordinary it is to say something to you on My own behalf to ask somewhat of you for My Self which is more then I have done of you or of those who met here before you since My coming into England I needed not have done it Then and upon My Conscience I need not do it Now they did and you do upon all occasions express so great an affection and care of all that concerns Me that I may very well refer both the matter and manner of your doing any thing for Me to your own Wisdoms and Kindness And indeed if I did think that what I am to say to you now did alone or did most concern My self if the Uneasie condition I am in if the Straits and Necessities I am to struggle with did not manifestly relate to the publique Peace and Safety more then to My own particular otherwise then as I am concerned in the Publique I should not give you this trouble this day I can bear My Necessities which meerly relate to My self with Patience enough Mr. Speaker and you Gentlemen of the House of Commons I do not now importune you to make more haste in the settling the constant Revenue of the Crown then is agreeable to the Method you propose to your selves to desire you seriously to consider the insupportable Weight that lyes upon it the Obligations it lyeth under to provide for the Interest Honour and Security of the Nation in another proportion then in any former times it hath been obliged to I know well you have very affectionately and worthily taken all this into your Thoughts and will proceed in it with as much Expedition as I can reasonably wish But I come to put you in minde of the Crying Debts which do every day call upon Me of some necessary Provisions which are to be made without delay for the very Safety of the Kingdom of the great some of Money that should be ready to discharge the several Fleets when they come home and for the necessary preparations that are to be made for the setting out new Fleets to Sea against the Spring that Revenue being already anticipated upon as important Services which should be assigned to those Preparations These are the pressing Occasions which I am forced to recommend to you with all possible Earnestness and do Conjure you to provide for as speedily as is possible and in such a manner as may give Us security at Home and some reputation Abroad I make this Discourse to you with some Confidence because I am very willing and desirous that you should throughly examine whether these necessities I mention be Real or Imaginary or whether they are fallen upon Us by My fault My own ill Managery or Excesses and provide for them accordingly I am very willing that you make a full Inspection into My Revenue as well the Disbursements as Receipts and if you finde it hath been ill managed by any corruption in the Officers I trust or by My own Unthriftiness I shall take the Information and Advice you shall give Me very kindly I say If you finde it For I would not have you believe any loose Discourses how confidently soever urged of giving away Fourscore thousand pounds in a Morning and many other Extravagancies of that kinde I have much more reason to be sorry that I have not to Reward those who have ever faithfully served the King My Father and My Self then ashamed of any Bounty I have exercised towards any man My Lords and Gentlemen I am sorry to finde that the general Temper and Affections of the Nation are not so well composed as I hoped they would have been after so signall blessings from God Almighty upon Us all and after so great Indulgence and Condescensions from Me towards all Interests There are many wicked Instruments still as active as ever who labor night and day to disturb the Publick Peace and to make all People jealous of each other It will be worthy of your Care and Vigilance to provide proper Remedies for the Diseases of that kinde and if you find new Diseases you must study new Remedies Let Us not be discouraged if We help one another We shall with Gods blessing master all Our difficulties Those which concern Matters of Religion I confess to you are too hard for Me and therefore I do commend them to your Care and Deliberation which can best provide for them I
