to consideration 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 (till to afflict us with the fore calamity of g
cruel and barbarous war, is loudly calling the inhabi

thereto, to frequent fervent prayer,
D 0 therefore appoint THURSDAY the seven
