AN APPENDIX. For the Kingdoms better satisfaction of some oc∣currences since this SPEECH.
THis Speech, uttered with much pathetique seriousnesse, and heard with great attention, gave such a generall satisfaction to the House that many Members, formerly of a contrary opinion, professed, they were both convinced and converted; others who were dubious in the point of satisfaction, that they were now fully confirmed, most of dif∣ferent opinion put to a stand: and the Majority of the House, declared both by their cheerfull Countenances and Speeches [the Speaker going into the withdrawing Room to refresh himself, so soon as the Speech was ended) that they were abundantly satisfied by what had been thus spo∣ken. After which the Speaker resuming the Chair, this Speech was Se∣conded by many able Gentlemen, and the debate continuing Saturday, and all Munday and Munday night till about nine of the Clock on Tues∣day morning; and 244 Members staying quite out to the end, though the House doores were not shut up (a thing never seen or known before in Parliament) the question was at last put, and notwithstanding the Generals and whole Armies march to Westminster, and Menaces against the Members, in case they Voted for the Treaty, and did not utterly e∣ject it as unsatisfactory, carryed in the affirmative by 140 Voyces (with the four Tellers) against 104 that the question should be put, and then without any division of the House it was,
Resolved on the question, That the Answers of the King to the Proposi∣tions of both Houses, are a ground for the House to proceed upon for the settle∣ment of the Peace of the Kingdom.
