Excerpt from Memoirs of the Life and Administration of Sir Robert Walpole, Earl of Orford, Vol. 3 of 4 Great Britain.

He hoped every member of that house was convinced, that the king would never enter into any engagement that was not absolutely necessary for procuring the happiness, and insuring the safety of his subjects; and therefore it was quite unneces sary to confine the words of their address to such engagements as related to the interest of Great Britain.
