PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS the Honourable the Congress by their
Proclamation, bearing date the eighteenth day
of October last, therein reciting, That " whereas it
hath plcafed Almighty God, the Father of all mer
cies, amidst the vicissitudes and calamities of war, to
bestow blessings upon the people ofthefe Rates, which
call for their devout and thankful acknowledgments,
more especially in the late remarkable interposition
of his watchful providence in refeuing the person of
our Commander in Chief and the Army from im
minent dangers, at the moment when treason was
ripened for execution ; in prospering the labours of
the husbandmen, and caufingthe earth to yield its in
crease in plentiful harvests; and above all, in conti
nuing to us the enjoyment of the gospel of peace :"
Did by the said Proclamation " recommend to the
several Rates to set apart Thursday the seventh day of
December next, to be observed as a day of public
thanksgiving and prayer; that all the people may as
semble on that day to celebrate the praises of our Di
vine Benefactor; to confefs our unworthiness of the
least of his favours, and to offer our fervent suppli
cations to the God of all grace; that it may please
him to pardon our heinous tranfgreflions, and incline
our hearts for the future to keep all his laws ; to com
fort and relieve our brethren who are in any wife af
flicted or distressed ; to smile upon our husbandry and
trade ; to direct our public councils and lead our for
ces by land and sea to victory ; to take our illustrious
ally under his special protection, and to favour our
joint councils and exertions for the establishment of
speedy and permanent peace; to cherish all schools
and seminaries of education, and to cause the know
ledge of Christianity to spread over all the earth."
I have therefore thought fit, by and with the advice
of the Honourable Privy Council of this Rate, to ap
point Thursday the seventh day of December next to
be observed as a day of public thanksgiving and pray
er in this Rate, in pursuance of the said Proclamati
on of Congress, and for the purposes therein menti
oned : And it is hereby recommended to the ministers
of the gospel of every denomination in this Rate to
perform divine service, and to the people committed
to their charge to attend on public worship on that
day ; and to all the inhabitants of the Rate to abstain
thereon from servile labour and all recreations incon
sistent with the solemnity of the feftival.
Given under my Hand and Seal at Arms, in Trenton,

hundred and eighty, and in the fifth year of the In
dependence of the United States of America.
