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 Instruments 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 cumftances of Barbarity as are moft abhorrent not only to the trueSpirit of Christianity, but even toHumanity itself; And whereas the Preparations now made and making against us by our French and. Indian Enemy loudly admonish 115 of our Danger as alfo of our Duty, to acknowledge the righteous Hand of God in these Difpenfations of his Providence, and to feek a fpeedy Reconciliation to Him; and the Time of Action of the Forces raifed by this and the neighbouring Governments for recovering their juft Rights out of the Hands of their Enemies being probably very pear, 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 Success;

have therefore thought it, with the Advice of his Majesty's Council and at the Defire of the Allembly, to appoint Thursday the Twenty-second of this Infant July to be observed thro'out this Province as a Day of publick Fafting an Prayer; hereby calling upon Minifters and People devoutly to foleumize the fame by the deepest humiliations for our heinous Offences, by which we have highly fucented the Divine Majesty against us, and have caused him to hist His face from us, and to punish us with the fore Calamities of Car; and allo to implore Dis Commiflctation of us, in our prefent Diferelles, and inercifully direct in the Forming and Er: ecuting of our military Enterprizes, and thereby to deliver us out the hauds of our Enemies, and enable us to recover our Rights and Properties, by them unjustly invaded; that he would keep all Sin out of our Camps, 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, be bould lead them on to Succefs and Widory; That he would gracioudly preserve the important Life of our Sovereign Lord the KING with all the Branches of his Royal Houfe; and direct his Counfels and prosper His juft Arms for restor and preserving the Peace of Europe; and that the Divine promiles and predictions of the Universal and Spiritual Reign- of our Lord and Saviour JESUS CHRIST, the Prince of Peace, may be fycedily accomplished. And all fervile Labour and Recreations are forbidden on the laid Bay,

Given at the Council Chamber in Bolton, 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, Kiso, Defender of the Faith, &c. By.Order of His Honour the Lieutenant Governor,
