The Humble ADDRESS Of the Right Honourable the Lords Spiritual and Temporal In PARLIAMENT Assembled.  
Die Sabbathi 2ᵒ. Martij, 1694.  
WE the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament Assembled, having Resolved by the Unanimous Vote of this House, That the Sending so great a Fleet into the Mediterranean, and Continuing it in those Parts, has been to the Honour and Advantage of Your Majesty and Your Kingdoms; and having Spent some Time upon Consideration of the Condition of the Fleet both at Home and Abroad, and of the great Increase of the Naval Force and Strength of our Neighbours, Conceive it to be our Duty to Your Majesty and the Kingdom, Humbly to Represent, That the Honour and Safety of this Nation, under the Providence of God, chief Depends upon Your Strength at Sea. And whereas, by the long Continuance of this War, the Number of Your Ships must have been Diminished, and those Remaining greatly Impaired, We think it of the highest Importance to Your Majesty's Service, and the Security and Interest of Your People, That You would be Pleased to Give such Speedy and Effectual Directions for the Repair and Increase of Your Royal Navy, as may Enable Your Majesty, not only to Continue a Strength in the Mediterranean during this War, which may be Superior to that of our Enemies, but likewise to Maintain such a Force here at Home, and in the West-Indies, as shall be a Security for our Coasts and Plantations, and a Protection of our Trade, and Sufficient both for the Annoying of our Enemies, and for the Protecting and Convoying all such Stores and Provisions as must be Sent to the Fleet in those Parts; upon the Effectual and Timely Providing whereof, the Safety of that Part of Your Majesty's Navy does so much Depend.   

To which His Majesty was pleased to Return a most Gracious Answer, to the Effect following:  
I Am very Sensible how much Our Safety depends upon Our Strength at Sea, and therefore cannot but Desire the Increase of it.  
And I shall not be Wanting to do what is in My Power, as to the Matters mentioned in your Address.   
FINIS.
