Lords and Commons Debate Taxes and Humble Address
The May 7 session records Exchequer loan accounts and bills for indemnities and disarming Scotland. A bill for a five hundred thousand pound grant and sea service pay is read, followed by measures for office, polities, and restraint of popery. A grand debate ends with a majority to present a humble address to the king affirming loyalty and financial support. On May 8 the Commons deliver the address and await the king’s gracious answer.
