The Parliament thank the King for the Alliance with Holland.
Reresby, , p. 55. November []. | |
The Parliament met, and the king, in his speech, informed them that he was entered in a strict alliance with the Prince of Orange and the United Provinces to oppose the French king and the progress | |
172 | of his arms in Flanders; and desired he might have money to enable him to fulfil his engagements. |
The Commons immediately voted an address of thanks to the king for the care he had taken of the Protestant religion in marrying his niece to the Prince of Orange, but observed they could grant no supplies for the war if his Majesty and his allies would not engage not to lay down their arms till the treaty of the Pyrenees was performed, and till the French king was reduced to the condition he was then in; for, that without this, neither this kingdom nor the rest of Christendom was safe. | |
