Excerpt from Bishop Burnet's History of His Own Time, Vol. 2 The money was exhausted: so it was necessary to have a session of parliament. And one was called in the beginning of the year. At the opening it, the king excused the issuing out the writs, as done to save time, and to have a full house at the first open ing: but he left that matter wholly to them: he spoke of the declaration for liberty of conscience in another style: he said he had seen the good effects of it; and that he would stick to it, and maintain it: he said, he was engaged in a war for the honour of the nation, and therefore he demanded the sup plies that were necessary to carry it on. On these heads lord Shaftsbury enlarged. But no part of his speech was more amazing than that, speaking of the war with the Dutch; he said, Delenda est Car thage.

To the Treaty of Peace at Utrecht, in the Reign of Queen Anne After his brother's restoration he applied himself much to the marine, in which he arrived at great skill, and brought the eet so entirely into his dependence, that even after he laid down the command, he was still the master of our whole sea force. He had now for. These last three years directed all our counsels with so absolute an authority, that the king seemed to have left the government wholly in his hands: only the unlocked-for bringing in the duke of Monmouth put him under no small apprehensions, that at some time or other the king might slip out of his hands: now that Scar was over. The king was dead and so all the court went immediately and paid their duty to him. Orders were presently given for proclaiming him It was a hmvy solemnity few tears were shed for the former, nor were there any shouts of joy for the present king. A dead silence, but without any disorder or tumult, followed it through the streets When the privy councillors came back from the proclamation, and waited on the new king, he made a short speech to them 3 which it seems was well considered, and much liked by him, for he repeated it to his parliament, and upon several other occasions.
