 z^y Lords y anu Gentlemen, 
 
 vi- 
 
 E have received the King's Commands to put an 
 E)nd to this Seflion of Parliament ; and, upon this 
 Occafion, to affure you, That His Majefty looks 
 back, with entire SatisfaAion, on your Proceed- 
 ings during the Courfe of it» The Duty and Affec- 
 tion which you have exprelTed for His Perfon and 
 Government, and th? Zeal and Unanimity which 
 you have Ihewn in maintaining the true Intercft 
 of your Country, can only be equalled by what 
 His Majefty has formerly experienced from this Par- 
 liament. 
 His Majefty has commanded us to acquaint you, 
 that it would have given Him the moft fenfible Pleafure to have been able to 
 communicate to you, thai His (incere Endeavours to promote a General Pacifi- 
 cation had met with more fuitable Returns before tliis Time. His Majefty, 
 in Conjundtion with His good Brother and Ally th? King of Fruffia^ chofe 
 to give their Enemies Proofs of this equitable Difpofition, in the Midft of a 
 Series of Glorious Viftoi ies ; an Opportunity the moft proper to do it vvith 
 Dignity, and to minifcft to al4 Europe t^e Purity and Moderation of His 
 Viev^^. After ftirch a Conduft, His Majefty has the Comfort to refleft, that 
 the further Continuance of the Calamities of War cannot be imputed to Him, 
 or His Allies ; and trufts in the Blefling of Heaven upon the Juftice of His 
 Arms, and upon thofe ample Means, which your Zeal, in fo good a Caufe, 
 has wifely put into His Hands, that His future Succefles, in carrying on the 
 War, will not fall (hort of the part ; and that, in the Event, the Publick 
 Tranquility will be reftorcd on folid and durable Foundations. 
 
 We are further commanded to acquaint you, That His Majefty has taken 
 the moft effeftual Care to augment the Combined Army in Germany, and, at 
 the fame Time, to keep up fuch a Force at Home, as may fruftrate any 
 Attempts of the Enemy to invade thefe Kingdoms, which have hitherto ended 
 only in their own Confufion.

 frelh Spirit to His Maritime Forces, and reduced the Naval Strength of France 
 to a very low Ebb. 
 
 His Majefty has dirpofed His Squadrons in fuch a Manner, as may beft 
 conduce to the Annoyance of His Enemies ; to the Defence of His own Domi- 
 nions both 'r\ Europe and America\ ami tt) the preferving and puifuing His Con-

 Conviction, that thif are neceiTar^ forihe Security and eflentiid Interefts of His 
 Kingdoms. The K4ng has enjoined us to return you His h«i(ty Thanks for
