" GENTLEMEN OF TIIE HOUSE OF COMMONS . " I thank you for the readiness with which you have granted the Supplies . The Estimates laid before you were somewhat lower than those of former years , although they included several extraordinary charges , which will not again occur . The same course of economy will still be steadily pursued . The continual increase of the revenue , notwithstanding the repeal of so many taxes , affords the surest proof that
the resources of the country are unimpaired , and justifies the expectation that a perseverance in judicious and well-considered measures will still further promote the industry and augment the wealth of my people . " MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN , " It gives me great gratification to believe , that in returning to your several counties , you will find a prevalence of general tranquility and of active industry amongst all classes of society . I humbl y hope that
Divine Providence will vouchsafe a continuance and increase of these blessings , and , in any circumstances which may arise , I shall rely with confidence upon your zeal and fidelity . And I rest satisfied that you will inculcate and encourage that obedience to the laws , and that observance of the duties of religion and morality , which are the only secure foundations of the power and happiness of Empires . " The Lord Chancellor , then , in his Majesty ' s name , declared the Parliament prorogued to Thursday the 25 th of September .
