CT-1 H E goodness of the Supreme Being to
H all his rational creatures, demands their
acknowledgments of gratitude and love;
his absolute government 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 wrest from a people their sacred and
invaluable privileges, and compels them, 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 hears the cries of the diftrefl'ed,
and will not turn a deaf ear to the Application of
the oppressed.
Great-Britain, hitherto, left to infatuated coun
cils, and to pursue measures repugnant to her own
interest and distressing to this country, still persists
in the design of subjugating these United States ;
which will compel us into another adive and per
haps bloody campaign.
The United States in Congress assembled, there
fore, taking into cOfideration our present (filiation,
our multiplied t&ifgreffions of the holy laws of our
God, and his past ads of kindness and goodness
towards us, which we ought to record with the
liveliest gratitude, think it their indifpenfible duty to
call upon the several States to set apart the last
THURSDAY in April next, as a day of Fasting,
Humiliation and Prayer, that oar joint Applications
may then afeend to the throne of the Ruler of the
universe, beleeching him to diffufe a spirit of uni
verfdl reformation among all ranks and degrees of
our citizens; and make us #n holy, that so we may
be, an happy people; that it would please him to im
part wisdom, integrity and unanimity to our counfel
lors ; to bless and prosper 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 ; proted 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
bandmen, making the earth yeild 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 guardianship all schools
and seminaries of learning, and make them nurseries
of virtue and piety; that he would incline the
hearts of all men to peace, and fill them with uni
versal charity and benevolence, and that the reli
gion of our Divine Redeemer, with all its benign
influences, may cover the earth as the waters cover
the sea.
Done by the United States in Congress assem
bled, this nineteenth day of March, in the
year of our Lord one thousand seven hun
dred and eighty-two, and in the sixth year
of our Independence.
