WHEREAS, it is the prevailing custom with

to set apart from the time usually employed in the

strengthened; that the high state of freedom, both
civil and religious which has so long marked our
political condition may be preserved to u.s. and the
generations that may succeed US, until time shall
cease, and that all such other temporal blessings
as to him may seem meet for his people may be be-
slowed on us and whereas, the day thus to be OBJ
