It is, S doubt not, a great - atisfaflion to you to have ob-, . served, that the Powers yori'iritrufted me with for the Prefer- v. ation of the Public's Safety, have been employed in the moft, proper and eifedtial - ManneVj and made ftriftly fubfervient to thofePurpofcs only fbrwhicb yoa intended them; and you mttffc have had the Pleafure to refieft with me, that as. the Mea-. litres taken, for our Defence have been juft and neceiiary, fo is Has plea fed the Divine Providence to blefs them with a Series of fmt,. ible Suicefs : And 1 cannot but take this Opportunity, of doing JuiMce- to the OlScers and Soldiers cf the Army, whofe brave and faithful Difcbarge of their Duty has difap- pointed our Enemies, and contributed fy much to the- Safety of ths Nation. I did hope, that ths Detecting and Preventing the defigned Infurreftjons in form Parts . of the Kingdom, and the Deteat- i ig mothers thofe who had taken- up Arms agiind me, would have put an End to tins Pvebsllion.; but it is plain, that our Enemies, animated by fome fecret Hopes of Affiftance, are ftill endeavouring to fupport this defoerate Undertaking, and the Pretender, as I have reafon to b - lisve, is now landed in-, Scotland. . it is hpwever with Pleafure I cm a: quaint you, that • hptwithftasding thtfc inteftine Commotions, G: ea. t Britain has; in fome metfure, recorer'd is Influence and Reputa- tion abroad.

Gentlemen of the Houfe of Commons, I muft rely on your Affection tome, and your Care and Concern for the Safety of the Nation, to grant me fuch Sup- plies as may enable me to rcftore and to fecure the peace ofthe Kingdom ; and I will order Eftimates of the neceffary fix- psnces to be laid, before you. Among the many unavoidable ill Confequences of this Re- bellion, none af& fts me more fenfibly than that extraordinary Bui- thin which it hasand reuft create to my faithful Subjefts. To eale tham as far as lies in my Power, I take this firft Op- portunity of declaring, that I will freely give uj » all the Eilattfc thaj Ihall become forfeited to the Crown by this Rebel- lion, ta be applied towards defraying the extraodinary . Ex- pence incurr'd on this Occafion, My Lords and Gentlemen, It is Matter of the greateft Uneafinefs to me, that the firft Years of my Reign, the whole Courfe of which I wifhed to have tranfmitted to Pofterity, diftinguifh'd by tjie fair . and endearing Marks, of Peace and Clemency, fhould be clouded and overcaft with fo unnatural a Rebel- lion ; which, however impotent and unfuccefsftil a <? ue . * Care may render it, in all other Refpe& s does moft fen- fihly afflict me, by the Calamities it has brought on irianv of my fsithful Subje& s, and by thofe indifpenfa. hle Returns « i Severity, which their J ufiferings and the publick Safety do moft juftly call for ; under this Concern, my greateft Comfort is, that. I cannot reproach my felf with having given the leaft Provocation to that Spirit of Dilcor. tent ar. d Calumny, that has been let loofe againft me, or the, - leaft Pretence for kindling the Flams of this Rebellion. . Let thofe, whofe fatal Counfels laid the Foundation of all" thefe Mifchiefs, and thole whofe private Difeontents and Dif- appointments, difguifed under falfe. Prrten. ces, have betrayed" great Numbers of deluded People into their own DeftruCrion, anfwer for the.
