sit for government did invite the Parliament to give His Majesty a cheerfull accompt of their proceedings Then he reckon'd up those bills that did already attend for His Majesties Royall Assent The first was an Act for the confirmation of Judicatory proceedings The second was an Act to prevent the taking of excessive usury The third was an Act for a perpetuall Anniversary thanksgiving to be observed and kept upon the twenty ninth of May. The fourth was an Act for a speedy provision of Money to pay off and disband all the forces of this kingdome by sea and land The last was an Act of free and generall pardon Indemnity and Oblivion In the conclusion of his speech they made known to His Majesty that they had nothing more to ask or offer at that time but that as soon as His Majesties occasions would permit them to adjourn and goe into their own Countries where they should make His Majesties Subjects sensible of the Happiness they had in having such a King to Rule and Govern over them His Majesty having given His Royal assent to all these Bills and pass'd them made a short Speech to the House Wherein he told them that no man had more impatiently long'd to have those Bills pass'd then he had done to pass them as the foundation of much security and happiness to the Nation That he did very willingly pardon all that was pardon'd in the Act of Indempnity But for the time to come the same discretion and Conscience which had disposed Him to the Clemency which he then express'd which was most agreeable to his nature would oblige him to all rigour and severity how contrary soever to His nature toward those who should not now acquiesce but continue to manifest their sedition and dislike of the Government That never any King valu'd more the affections of His people then he did nor did He know any way to make Himself sure of His peoples affections then by being just and kind to all He thank'd them for the Pole-Bill not that it came into His Coffers but for the other grand intent of disbanding the Army and discharging the Navy which above all things he earnestly pray'd them to dispatch He hinted to them the unestablishment of His Revenue yet told them that that was not the thing which did trouble him and therefore bid them but take care of the publick and for what was necessary for the good and quiet of the Kingdom and take their own time for His own particular which he was sure they would provide for with as much affection and Franckness as he could desire The chief heads of the act of Oblivion were as follow That His Majesty taking into consideration the long and great Troubles Discords and Warrs which had been for many yeares in this Kingdom and that for that reason divers of His Subjects had incurr'd severall penalties and being piously dispos'd to put an end to all Controversies which by reason of these late troubles might happen between His Subjects and to the intent that no crime committed against His Majesty or His Father may rise in ju●gment for the time to come against any of
