By the King . A PROCLAMATION Appointing the General Fast , which according to former Order falleth out to be on Wednesday the First of November , being All Saints day , to be kept on the Wednesday following , being the Eighth of that Moneth . CHARLES R.

WHereas the Kings most Excellent Majesty did by His Royal Proclamation , bearing Date the Sixth day of July last , appoint that from the time therein mentioned , the First Wednesday of every Moneth successively should be observed and kept in all parts of this Realm , as a day of Fasting and Humiliation , until it shall please God to withdraw this Plague and grievous Sickness . And to the end that Prayers and Supplication may every where be offered up unto Almighty God for the Removal of this heavy Iudgment : And whereas the First Wednesday in November ( which according to that Order ought to be kept ) falls out to be All-Saints day , which is a great Festival in the Church , and so not fit to be kept as a day of Fasting and Humiliation , His Majesties Pleasure is , and He doth hereby Declare , That the Next Wednesday following in the said Moneth , that is to say , Wednesday the eighth of November , shall be kept in all parts of this Realm as a day of Fasting and Humiliation , instead of the First Wednesday of that Moneth . And for the time to come , the First Wednesday in every Moneth shall be so kept as was appointed by the said former Proclamation ; Except the same falls out to be on some day appointed to be kept Holy , and in that case it shall be kept the Wednesday following , as is hereby directed . And His Majesty doth hereby again call upon the Respective Preachers on the said Fast-days , that they do Earnestly Exhort the People , in the several Churches , to a Free and Chearful Contribution , towards the Relief of their Christian Brethren , whom it hath pleased God to visit with Sickness ; And that the Moneys so gathered be disposed according as His Majesty hath directed by His said Former Proclamation .

Given at the Court at Oxford the Twenty Sixth day of September , in the Seventeenth year of his Majesties Reign . 1665. God save the King .
