His Majesties MOST GRACIOUS SPEECH To both Houses of PARLIAMENT On Wednesday the First Day of February 1698. LONDON Printed by Charles Bill and the Executrix of Thomas Newcomb deceas'd Printers to the Kings most Excellent Majesty 1698. His Majesties MOST GRACIOUS SPEECH To both HOUSES of PARLIAMENT My Lords and Gentlemen I Came to Pass the Bill for Disbanding the Army as soon as I Understood it was Ready for Me. Tho' in Our present Circumstances there appears great Hazard in Breaking such a Number of the Troops And tho' I might think My Self unkindly Used that those Guards who came over with Me to your Assistance and have constantly Attended Me in all the Actions wherein I have been Engaged should be Removed from Me yet it is My fixt Opinion that nothing can be so Fatal to Us as that any Distrust or Jealousie should arise between Me and My People which I must own would have been very unexpected after what I have Undertaken Ventured and Acted for the Restoring and Securing of their Liberties I have thus plainly told you the only Reason which has induced Me to Pass this Bill and now I think My Self Obliged in Discharge of the Trust Reposed in Me and for My own Justification that no Ill Consequences may lie at my Door to tell you as plainly My Judgment that the Nation is left too much Exposed It is therefore Incumbent on you to take this Matter into your Serious Consideration and Effectually to Provide such a Strength as is Necessary for the Safety of the Kingdom and the Preservation of the Peace which God has given Us.
