We think ourselves obliged, more especially, to return our humblest Acknowledgements, for Your Majesty's great Condescension, in acquainting this House with the Steps already taken in relation to the Peace; and for the Assurance Your Majesty is pleased to give, of communicating to this House the Terms of Peace, before the same shall be concluded.

"Your Majesty's Declaration, "that there has not been the least Colour given for those false and scandalous Reports which have been spread, that a separate Peace has been treated," must be the highest Satisfaction to all Your People. And we readily embrace this Opportunity, to assure Your Majesty, that we entirely rely upon Your great Wisdom, in settling the Terms of Peace."
