BY HIS EXCELLENCY
William Livingston, Efquire^
Governor, Captain-General, and Commander in
Chief in and over the State of New-Jersey, and
the territories thereunto belonging, Chancellor
and Ordinary in the fame.
PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS the United States in Congress
assembled, did, on the nineteenth day of
March lull, issue a proclamation in the words fol
lowing, to wit;
" THE goodness of the Supreme Being to all
his rational creatures, demands their acknowledg
ments of gratitude and love: his absolute govern
ment of this world dictates, that it is the interest
of every nation and people ardently to supplicate
his favour and implore his protection.
When the lull of dominion or lawless ambition
excites arbitrary power to invade their rights, or
endeavour to wrell from a people their sacred and
invaluable privileges, and compels then:, in defence
of the fame, to encounter all the horrors and cala
mities of a bloody and vindictive war; then is that
people loudly called upon to fly unto that God for
protection, who bears the cries of the diltreffed,
and will not turn a deaf ear to the Application of
the oppressed.
Great-Britain, hitherto, left to infatuated coun
sels, and to pursue measures repugnant to her own
interest and distressing to this country, still perlifts
in the design of subjugating thele United States;
which will compel us into another active and per
haps bloody campaign.
The United States in Congress aflembled, there
fore, taking into consideration our present situation,
our multiplied transgressions of the holy laws of our
God, and his past ads of kindness and goodness
towards u^, which we ought to record with the
liveliest gratitude, think it their indispensable duty to
call upon the several States to let apart the last
THURSDAY in April next, as a day of Fasting,
Humiliation and Prayer, that our joint Applications
may then afeend to the Throne of the Ruler of the
universe, beseeching him to diffufe a spirit of uni
versal reformation among all ranks and degrees of
our citizens; and make us an holy, that lo we may
be, an happy people; that it would please him to im
part wisdom, integrity and unanimity to our counci
lors; to bless and piofper the reign of our illustri
ous ally, and give success to his arms employed in
the defence of the rights of human nature: that he
would smile upon our military arrangements by
land and sea; administer comfort and consolation
to our prisoners in a cruel captivity; protect the
health and life of our Commander in Chief; grant
us victory over our enemies; establish peace in' all
our borders, and give happiness to all our inhabi
tants ; that he would prosper the labour of the hus
bandman, making the earth yield her increase in
abundance, and give a proper season for the inga
thering of the fruits thereof; that he would grant
success to all engaged in lawful trade and com
merce, and take under his guardianfllip all schools
and seminaries of learning, and make them nutferies
of virtue and piety; that he would incline the hearts
of all men to peace, and fill them with universal
charity and benevolence, and that the religion of
our Divine Redeemer, with all its benign ibuences,
may cover the earth as the waters cover the sea."
1 have therefore thought fit, by and with the ad
vice of the honourable the Privy Council, (as well
in conformity to the said proclamation, as from a
deep sense of our indispensable duty to humble our
felvcs before Almighty God for our multiplied
transgressions of his holy laws, and to offer up our
joint Applications for the blessings in the said procla
mation fpecified) to appoint the said last THURS
DAY in this present month of April to be set apart
and observed in this Rate as a day of Falling, Hu
miliation and Prayer, hereby recommending it to
the Ministers of the Gospel, of every denomination
therein, to perform Divine service, and to the people
committed to their charge to attend on publick
worship on that day, and to abstain from fertile
labour, and all recreations inconfittent with the so-
Icmnity of the occafon.
Given unger my hand and seal at arms, in
Trenton, the fifth day of April, in the year
of our Lord one thousand seven hundred
and eighty-two, and in the sixth year of our
independence.
