An address was unanimously voted requesting the King to take effectual steps for the suppression of the rebellion, and to put forth a proclamation denouncing public vengeance on the rebels.

One gentleman hinted that it might be well to advise his Majesty to offer a pardon to those who should peaceably submit: but the House wisely rejected the suggestion.

"This is no time," it was well said, "for any thing that looks like fear." The address was instantly sent up to the Lords.
The Lords concurred in it.

Two peers, two knights of shires, and two burgesses were sent with it to Court.

William received them graciously, and informed them that he had already given the necessary orders.
