You canbe no ftrangers to His Majefty’s fifolt gracious declaration, that the preferva- tion of the conftitution in church and ftate,and t4e inforcing & due obedience to the law (not more neceffary to His own authority thanto the libertics of His people) thall be the firft and conftant object of His care. And I have it particularly in commiand to detlare to you, thac His fubjeéts of this kingdom are fully and in every refpeét comprehended in thefe affrances. . < (1% Majefty’s wile choice of a RoyalCon- fort, eminent tor Her petfonal virtues and en- dowments, and defcended from an Houfe fo illutrious for its attachment to the Porteftant caufe,difplays in the cleareftlightHis paternal care, not only to prefecve to us, but tran{mit vnmpaired to our polterity, the bleflings of His reign, liberty and pure religion. When [ confider the fecurity of our pre- fent,and the profpect of our future happinels; and when [ fee you animated, as I am per- fuaded you are, with every fentiment which Joyalty and gratitude can infpire ; I ‘affure my felf.of a Seffion of Parliment, that will bé diftinguithedby its uninterrapted harmony, and by its effective zeal for the fupport of the honour and dignity of the crown. Such dif- fitions, fteadily adhered to, cannot fail, under £is Majefty’s paternal influence; to Containing the Frefbefp Advices, \ . ‘preferve you an happy, and to eftablifh you an opulent and a fourifhing people. Gentlemen of the Houfe of Commons, . I have ordered the proper officers to lay before you the feveral sccounts and eftimates; from which you will be ghabled to judge of the provifions necefary to ‘be made for the fuppore of His Majelty’s ‘government, and for your own fecurity, Themeans ofmaking thofe provifians (which T hope will be ex- peditioufly adjufted)f doubt not willon your part, be fuch as fhall be moft fuitable to the circumftances of this country ; On mine, you may depend upon the utmoft frugality. You will take into your confideration the feveral incidental charges of the military ef- tablifhmeant, as it now {tands, of which exaé eftimates cannot be formed ; and alfo, that a large fum will be wanted for the effeétual re- pair of the barracks ya work, which cannot be delayed. : I muft obferve to you, that, notwithftan- ding the authority given by the vote of cre- dit of the laft Parliment, the fum of two hun- dred thoufand pounds only has been raifed; a circumftance of ceconomy, which cannot fail to give you fatisfa&tion. : My Lards and Gentlemen, : The improvment of your natural advanta- ges ought to be the objedt of your moft feri- ousattention, Agriculture, the fureflt fupport .of every. flate, deferves at all times your high- eft regard,to the end that; through your wil- dom, the fkilland induftry of the inhabitants of this country may fully correfpond with the bouaty of providence in their favour. To encourage, regulate and improve, which will of courfe extend, your manufac- tures and your commerce, will 1 am fure, be your continual care, Your linen trade has long and jultly been the object of public en- couragement ; but much ftill remains to carry to its full extent a manufacture, for which there is fo large a demand ; which is {o vari- ous in its branches ; and which, with due at- tention, might be rendered as confiderable a fource of wealth to the whole, as it is now to part of this kingdom. There is no abje¢t more worthy our atten- tion than our Proteftant Charter Schools. Notwithftanding the peaceable demeanour of the Papifts in this kingdom, it muft al- ways be your duty and your intereft to di- vert from error, by every effe@ual; though gentle method, the deluded followers of a blind religion, And thefe inftitutions merit your fupport ‘and protection, not only as fchools of religion, but as feminaries of ufeful arts and virtuous induftry. Let me now in the moft earneft manner recommend to you,that, after fo many hon- ourable events abroad, and fo many joyful events at home,neither jealoufies, nor difturfts neither publick heats, nor private animofities, may difturb that tranquility, which is defira- - ble at all times,and at this [cafon is peculiarly neceflary to your welfare. As to what regards myfelf, you fhall al- mays find me not only ready, but folicitous, to contribute whatever my authority,my cre- dit, or my experience can furnith for thefe falutary purpofes,And I can with truth affure you, that I fhall in no degree fulfil the inten- tions, nor merit the apprabation of my Royal gt NN T e B 4 D et <ot Nume. 282 (Weeks fince thic Papen { was fieft Publith’d.
