I have had no other View, but to vindicate the juft Rights of My Crown and Subjects from the moft injurious Encroachments; to preferve Tranquillity, as far as the Circumltances of Things might admit ; and to prevent Our true Friends, and the Liber- tics of Europe^ from being opprefsd or endanger'd by any un- provoked and unnatural Conjunction.

It aftbrds Me great Pleafure, that the frugal Ufe made of the Confidence repofed in Me the laft Year, Jias been an Inducement to you to renew the fame ; and you may be allured, that it lliall be applied only to the Purpofcs ibr which it was ijitended, I ihall .■ i (4) I fhall be particularly attentive to reduce all unneceflary Ex- pences, in order the better to provide for the great and requilke Services of* the War. Mjf Lords, and Gentlemen, " ^' ' *' * * I have notI;ing to defire of you^ but wh&t is equally ellential to your own Intcrelt^ and to My Service. Let it be your con- flant Endeavour, to promote Hannony and good Agreement amongft My faithful Subjefts ; that, by Our Union at Home, We may be the better able to repel and fruftrate Abroad, the dangerous Defigns of the Enemies of My Crown. «, i •» Then the Lord Keeper, by His Majefty's C6m- mand, laidj ; ; j^- >c •)
