to confederation the great and increasing decay of vital
piety; the degeneracy of manners, want of public spi

throughout our land; and that the righteous God by
continuing still to afflict as with the fore calamity of a
cruel and barbarous war, is loudly calling the inhabi
tants, to repentance and reformation ; and as a means
thereto, to frequent fervent prayer,
D O therefore appoint THURSDAY the seven

Congregations under their care, as a day of humiliation,
