April nert, to be observed as a day of HUI
IMITATION, FASTING end PRAYER,
throughout the monwealth-desiring the
ministers and people of all religious denorGin-

spective places of worship, that we may hum
BILE ourselves before that infinitely great and
holy Being, whom we have offended by our
negligences and sins; and with penitent
hearts to offer to him our fervent prayers for
the pardon of our manifold transgressions, and
FOR his protection and blessing through the
present year, and through the course of our
future lives-That he would be pleased to
continue to us the blessings of health-That
the seasons may be ordered in favor TO us
Thath he would crown with abundant success
the labors Of the husbandman--Thath he would
prosper our manufactures, our commerce and
fisheries; and that the labor Of all classes and
descriptions of people may be plentifully re.
warded-That he would favor the means of
useful knowledge and true religion, and make
the ministers Of the Gospel instrumental in
promoting peace and good will among men.
That he would direct and bless our national
rulers, and the Magistrates, Judges, and civil
officers OF this Commonwealth-Tha we may
continue to enjoy the blessings of peace and
4hose civil and religious liberties with which
we are now fayoured--That he would look in
mercy on those nations, who are suffering from
the darkness Of ignorance or the rod ofoppres-
sion and cause rational liberty and uncor-
rupted religion to prevail over the whole
earth.
And it is earnestly recommended that all
labor and recreation, inconsistent with the re.
ligious services Of the day, be suspended.
