AT all times it is our duty to acknowledge the o
ver-ruling Providence of the Great Governor of
the universe, and devoutly to implore his Divine Fa
vour and Protection. But in the hour of calamity
and impending danger, when by fire and the sword,
by the savages of the wilderness, and by out own do
mefticks, a vindictive enemy pursues a war of rapine
and devastation, with unrelenting fury, we are pecu
liarly excited, with true penitence of heait, to pro
strate ourselves before our great Creator, and fervent
ly to supplicate his gracious Interposition for our De
liverance#
The United States in Congress assembled, therefore
do earnestly recommend, That THURSDAY, the
THIRD of MAY next, may be observed as a day of
Humiliation, Fasting and Prayer, that we may, with
united hearts, confefs and bewail our manifold fins
and tranfgrefflbhs, and by sincere repentance and a
tnendment of life, appease his righteous displeasure,
and through the merits bf our blessed Saviour obtain
pardon and forgivenefs : That it may please Him, to
inspire our rulers with incorruptible integrity, and to
direct and prosper their councils: To inspire all our
citizens with a fervent and disinterested love of their
country, and to preserve and strengthen their union :
To turn the hearts of the difaffeded, or' to fruftrate
their devices: To regard with divine companion our
friends in captivity, affliction and distress, to comfort
and relieve them under their fufferings, and to change
/their mourning into grateful longs of triumpli : That
it may please him to bless our Ally, and to render the
connection formed between these United States and
his kingdoms a mutual and lasting benefit to both na
tions : To animate our officers and forces by tea and
land with invincible fortitude, and to guard and pro
tect them in the day of battle, and to crown our joint
endeavours for terminating the calamities of war with
victory and success : That the blessings of Peace and
Liberty may be eftablilhed on an honourable and per
manent balis, and transmitted inviolate to the latest
posterity : That it may please Him to prosper our
husbandry and commerce, and to bless us with health
and plenty : That it may please Him to bless all schools
and seminaries of learning, and to grant that truth,
justice and benevolence, and pure and undetiled Reli
gion may univerfelly prevail.
And it is recommends! to all the people of these
States, to assemble for Publick Wbrlhip and abstain
from labour on the laid day.
