A PROCLAMATION for a publick FAST.

W permit the unjuft Invafions of the British Teritories in Nerub-America, as well as in other Parts of the

"HEREAS Almighty GOD is pleafed fill to chaftize us with the grievous Judgment of War, and to World, by the French, who have employed the Indians in these Parts, as Inftruments of their Cruelty in fhedding the Blood of Multitudes of Women and Children, as well as Men, upon the Frontiers of thefe Colonies, with fuch Cit cumkances of Barbarity as are most abhorrent not only to the trueSpirit of Chriftianity, but even toHumanity itself; And whereas, the Preparations now made and making against us by our French and. Indian Enctny loudly admonish as of our Danger as alfo of our Duty, to acknowledge the righteous Hand of God in thefe Difpenfations of his Providence, and to seek a fpeedy Reconciliation to Him; and the Time of Action of the Forces raised by this and the neighbouring Governments for recovering their juft Rights out of the Hands of their Enemies being probably very near, the Voice of Providence doth evidently call upon us to feek to God for his Bleffing upon our important Undertakings, without which we have no Ground to hope for Succets;

I

have therefore thought fit, with the Advice of his Majesty's Lounell and at the Defire of the Allembly, to appoint Thursday the Twenty-fecond of this Infant July to be observed thro'ont this Province as a Day of publick Fafling an' Prayer; hereby calling upon Ministers aad People devoutly to foleumize the fame by the deepeki humiliations for our heinous Offences, by which we have highly incensed the Divine Majeßy against us, and have caused him to hise His Face from us, and to punich us with the fore Calamities of ¿War; and allo to imploze DiS Commiflctation af us, in our present Difirelles, and inercifully direct in the Forming and Erecuting of our military Enterprizes, and thereby to deliver us out the hands of our Enemies, and cuable us to recover our Rights and Properties, by them unjustly invaded; that he would keep all Sin out of our Lamps, as well as from the whole Community, and inake us a penitent and reformed People; that he would inspire our Officers with Condua and Resolution, and our Soldiers with Faithfulness and Courage; and that, as the Captain of our Salvation, He would lead them on to Succels and dory; That he would graciously preferve the important Life of our Sovereign Lord the KING with all the Branches of his Royal Houfe; and direct hiS Counsels and profper His juft Arms for reftor and preferving the Peace of Europe; and that the Divine Promiles and Predictions of the Universal and Spiritual Reign- of cur Lord and Saviour JESUS CHRIST, the Prince of Peace, may be freedily accomplished. And all fervile Labour and Recreations are forbidden on the faid Day.

Given at the Council Chamber in Boston, the Tenth Day of July 1756, in the Thirtieth Year of the Reign of our Sovereign Lord GEORGE the Second, by the Grace of GOD of Great-Britain, France and, Ireland, KING, Defender of the Faith, &c. By.Order of His Honour the Lieutenant Governor,

GOD fave the KING.
