His Majesty's MOST GRACIOUS SPEECH To both Houses of PARLIAMENT.  
My Lords and Gentlemen,  
I Take this Occasion with great willingness to Assure you, that I am extremely sensible of the Zeal and Cheerfulness of all your Proceed in this Sessions of Parliament, and of the Readiness which you, Gentlemen of the House of Commons, have shown, in Granting such large Supplies towards the pressing Occasions of the Navy and Army.  
And I do farther Assure you, that I shall not be wanting on My Part to see them carefully Applied to those Uses for which you intent them.  
At the same time I must observe to you, that the Posture of Affairs abroad does necessarily require My Presence at the Hague before the end of this Year; and by consequence I must Desire you to lose no Time in the Dispatching and Perfecting of such further Supplies as are still necessary for the Navy and Army: And not for them only, but it is high time also to put you in mind of making some Provision for the Expense of the Civil Government, which has no Fonds for its Support, since the Excise, which was designed for that Service, as also the other Branches of the Revenue, have been Applied to other Public Uses; And therefore I earnestly Recommend it to your speedy Consideration.  
FINIS.
