His Majesties GRACIOUS SPEECH To both Houses of PARLIAMENT At their Prorogation On Monday the 26th of January 1679 80. C R DIEV ET MON DROIT HONI SOIT QVI MAL Y PENSE LONDON Printed by John Bill Thomas Newcomb and in Henry Hills Printers to the Kings most Excellent Majesty 1679 80. His Majesties GRACIOUS SPEECH To both House of PARLIAMENT At their Prorogation My Lords and Gentlemen WHen I declared in Council My intention of putting off the Parliament to a time so remote as November it was not without having very well weighed and considered the Grounds and Reasons that induced Me to it Nor can I be prevailed upon by any thing that has hapned since in reference to Affairs within the Kingdom to alter or repent of that Resolution but am rather confirmed and settled in it When I have said this I must tell you at the same time That considering the present danger which threatens some of Our Neighbours and Allyes in whose Interests and Safety We are so nearly concerned it may be of very ill consequence to make a Prorogation for so long a time as should in the least dishearten Our Friends that relie upon Us for this single Reason therefore I think fit to appoint a Day for your Meeting again in April and having thus let you see My care of you in relation to Affairs abroad I must observe to you That the Distractions and Jealousies at Home are of such a nature and so heightened and improved by the Malice and Industry of Ill men that I am unalterably of Opinion that a longer interval of Parliament will be absolutely necessary for composing and quieting of Mens minds in order to which I am afraid the most proper Remedies would prove ineffectual without the assistance of some farther time I do therefore Resolve That from the Day whereon you are to Meet in April there shall be a farther Prorogation unless the Condition of Our Allyes abroad do then require Our immediate Assistance And now my Lord Chancellor do as I have directed you Whereupon his Lordship said My Lords and you the Knights Citizens and Burgesses of the House of Commons His Majesties Royal Will and Pleasure is That this Parliament be Prorogued to Thursday the 15th day of April next ensuing and accordingly this Parliament is Prorogued to the 15th day of Aprilnext FINIS
