Parliament comes again to Westminster after their three moneths Adjournment when sat with the Lords in their house the Bishops of England as of old who went first into the Painted Chamber and put on lawn sleeves on their black silk Gownes and their scarlet Robes fac'd with rich white fur after that black Capps and so went into the house and took their places several of the Lords congratulating 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

departure out of the Country they cast much Venison out of the Shallop and hasted towards Bellsound to their Captain but a fog increasing and they having no compasse they wandred till the Ships there was gone which filled them with astonishment knowing none ever inhabited those clymates nor would undertake for any rewards to winter in those parts though allowed great provisions yea they had heard that Malefactors chose rather to returne to satisfie the Law then after they had viewd the desolateness of the place be pardoned to stay there one winter they remembred also that there was nine men formerly left there who was devoured by the Bears they wanted cloaths food and a house to keep themselves from the extremiry of cold they went again towards Green-harbor to kill Venison for winter the

Bell-sound in their way they were forced to stay at Bottel-Cove where the winde blowing hard and Anchor coming home their Shallop sunk and wet their provision upon which they run into the high wrought Sea to their Shallops to save the rest of their provision and they brought their Shallops to shore and took the Venison swiming and got to Bell-sound the Tent there was built of Timber and boards and covered with Flemish tiles the use of it was for the Coopers to make Casks to put in Traine oyle they took down an other little Tent where the Oyle used to be made to make a Tent within the great one they found also four Hogsheads of Lime which mingled with sand made morter which they had much adoe to keep from freezing they rais'd a wall of one brick thickness against the inward planks of the great Tent but the bricks failing they nayled the other sides with boards their Chimnie whence was their light was four foot high sealing all very close their beds were Deare skins they stowed seaven old Shallops two Coffers breaking them for fire now having scarce any day they spied two Sea horses a sleepe on Ice and with an harping Iron slew them and rosted and eate them but the nights and cold increasing they perceiv'd their provision short and so stinted to one meal a day and to fast a Wensdays only to eat graves or fritters of the Whales a loathsome meat their cloathes torne they made thread of rope yearn and needles of Whale-bone but their Whale-graves grew mouldie and they found that their Bear and Venison could not afford them five meales a week from the fourteenth of October to the second of February they never saw the Sun peepe above the Horizon not knowing day from night but the Moon as in England but they made a Lamp of some Sheet lead they found in the Coopers Tent and some Oyle and rope yearne in January when a duskish light appeared it was so cold as it raised Blisters on their flesh after this they melted the snow with hot Irons for water and with Pickaxes broake the Ice about the beginning of February the days were about seaven hours long but their victuals not like to last them six weeks but they spying a Bare and Cub coming towards their Tent went out with Lances upon whom the great Bare greadily came but was soon tumbled on the ground biting the snow for anger the young one fled this Bare served them twenty daies but eating her liver their skins peel'd of many more Bares came to the Tent seaven of which they kill'd one of them six foot high and the dayes lengthning several fowled resorted to them upon which came the Foxes also before in their burrow under the Rocks for to catch them they devised traps baiting them with fowles skins which fowle they caught by making springs of Whalebone laying them on the fleshie side of Bearskins they rosted and eate fifty Foxes when the weather was warm enough to goe further and oftner out they met with divers Willcoks eggs after came two Hull Ships which sent a Shallop near the shoare knowing men was left there crying haie to which one in the Tent answered hoe and so welcom'd the new comers with long before rosted Venson and cold water and after were entertain'd in the Hull Ships then came the London
