❧ By the King . ❧ A Proclamation for a generall Fast to be kept thorow out the Realm of England .

THe Kings most Excellent Majestie , observing the correcting hand of God upon the Kingdom in many yeers Pestilence , the present interruptions of that long continued blessing of Peace , and other signes of his anger for the sins of the Land ; and seriously considering the weighty affairs of State now in agitation in the high Court of Parliament , out of His truly Religious heart to God , and His tender care of His Kingdom and peoples welfare ( according to the practise of pious Kings and Princes in former ages , in times of common calamities , which concern both Prince and people ) hath resolved ( with the humble advice of the Lords and Commons now assembled in Parliament ) by a solemn and publike Fast , in the first place to have recourse to the Divine Majestie , to implore his merry and favour to Him and His people , as well for removing the present Iudgements , as for a blessing upon the great Affairs and businesses in hand concerning His Majestie and the Publike . And therefore His Majestie doth hereby straitly charge and command that a generall and publike Fast be kept and holden , as well by abstinence from Food , as by publike Prayers and hearing the Word of God , and other sacred Duties , in all Cathedrall , Collegiate , and Parish Churches and Chappels within the City of London , the Suburbs thereof , and the adjoyning Parishes of Saint Clement Danes , Saint Giles in the fields , Saint James at Clarkenwell , Saint Katharine Tower , Saint Leonard Shoreditch , Saint Martins in the fields , Saint Mary Whitechappell , Saint Magdalene Bermond , and Savoy Parish , upon Tuesday the seventeenth day of this instant November : And in all other Cathedrall , Collegiate , and Parish Churches and Chappels within the Kingdom of England , and Dominion of Wales , upon Tuesday the eighth day of December next ensuing the date hereof : All which His Majestie doth expressely charge and command shall be Reverendly and Devoutly performed by all His loving Subjects , as they tender the favour of Almighty God , and would avoid his just indignation against this Land , and upon pain of such punishments as His Majesty may justly inflict upon all such as shall contemn or neglect so religious a work .

Given at the Court at Whitehall the eleventh day of November in the sixteenth yeer of His Majesties Reign . God save the King .
