Governor, Captain-General and Commander in Chief
in and over the state ofNe<w-Jerfej, and territories
' thereunto belonging. Chancellor and Ordinary in
the fame.
Proclamation.
WHEREAS the United States in Congress assem
bled, by their Proclamation, bearing date the
twentieth day of March, reciting, that '' at all times
it is our duty to acknowledge the over-ruling provi
dence of the Great Governor of the universe, and de
voutly to implore his divine favour 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 our own domefticks, a vindictive
enemy pursues a war of rapine and devaluation with
unrelenting fury, we are peculiarly excited with true
penitence of heart to prostrate ourselves before otr
great Creator, and fervently to supplicate his graci
ous interposition for our deliverance."
DID THEREFORE earnestly recommend, " That
THURSDAY, the THIRD Day of MAY next, may be
observed as a day of Humiliation, Farting and Prayer ;
that we may with united hearts confeli and bewail
our manifold fins and transgressions, and by sincere
repentance and amendment of life appease his righ
teous displeasure, and through the merits; of our blel
fed Saviour obtain pardon and forgiVenefs: That it
may please him to inspire our rulers with wisdom and
incorruptible integrity, and to direct and prosper their
councils ; to inspire all our citizens with a fervent and
disinterested love oftheir country, and to preserve and
strengthen their union ; to turn the hearts of the dil
affeCted, or to fruftrate their devices ; to regard with
divine compaflion our friends in captivity, affliction,
and distress ; to comfort and relieve them under their
fufferings, and to change their mourning into grate
ful songs of triumph: That it may please him to bless
our ally, and to render the connection formed be
tween these United States and his kingdom a mutual
and lading benefit to both nations; to animate our
officers and forces by sea and land with invincible for
titude, and to guard and protect them in the day of
battle, and to crown our joint endeavours for termi
nating the calamities of war with victory and success :
That the blellings of peace and liberty may be esta
blished on an honourable and permanent balis, and
transmitted inviolate to the latest posterity: Tkt it
may please him to prosper our husbandry and com
merce, 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 be
nevolence, and pure and undefiled religion may uni
versally prevail."
And did thereby further recommend " to all the
people of these dates to assemble for public worlhip,
Ind abstain from labour on the said day."
I have therefore thought fit, by and with the advice
if the Honourable the Privy Council of this Rate, in
pursuance of the said Proclamation, as well as from a
deep sense of the pious duty thereby, recommended,
to appoint Thursday the said third day of May next,
to be observed as a day of Humiliation, Falling and
Prayer throughout this state, in the manner, and for
the purposes i n the said Proclamation mentioned ;
and do hereby recommend it to the Ministers of the
Gospel of every denomination in this state to perform
divine service, and to the people committed to their
charge to attend on public worlhip on the said day,
and to abstain thereon from all servile labour and re
creations inconsistent with the duties and solemnity
thereof.
Given under my hand and seal at arms, at Tren
ton, this twenty-eighth day of March, in the
year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred
and eighty-one, and in the fifth of the Indepen
dence of the United States of America.
