His Majesty's MOST GRACIOUS SPEECH To both Houses of PARLIAMENT, On Saturday the 16th. of March, 1688.  
My Lords and Gentlemen,  
NOw I have the Occasion of coming hither to Pass this Bill, which I hope will be for all Our Safeties, I shall put you in mind of one thing, which will conduce much to Our Settlement, as a Settlement will to the Disappointment of Our Enemies.  
I am with all the Expedition I can, filling up the Vacancies that are in Offices and Places of Trust by this late Revolution.  
I know you are sensible there is a Necessity of some Law to Settle the Oaths to be taken by all Persons to be Admitted to such Places; I Recommend it to your Care, to make a speedy Provision for it: And as I doubt not, but you will sufficiently Provide against Papists, so I hope you will leave Room for the Admission of all Protestants that are willing and able to Serve.  
This Conjunction in My Service will tend to the better Uniting you amongst yourselves, and the Strengthening you against your common Adversaries.  
FINIS.
