FOr the imploring a Blessing from Almighty God upon His Majesty and all His Dominions , and for the averting of those Iudgments which our manifold sins and provocations have most justly deserved ; The Kings most Excellent Majesty hath thought fit , and doth hereby Command , That a General Fast , and day of solemn Humiliation be kept and observed throughout this His Majesties Kingdom of England , Dominion of Wales , and Town of Berwick upon Tweed . And to the intent the same may be performed with all Decency and Order , His Majesty doth hereby Publish and Declare to all his loving Subjects , and doth strictly Charge and Command , That on Wednesday being the Tenth day of April next , this Fast shall be religiously observed and kept within the Cities of London and Westminster , and other Places within the weekly Bills of Mortality ; wherein His Majesty in His Royal Person , and with His Royal Family and Houshold will give Example to the rest of His People ; and that on Wednesday the Four and twentieth day of the said Month of April , the like be observed and kept throughout the rest of this His Majesties Kingdom of England , the Dominion of Wales , and Town of Berwick upon Tweed . And His Majesty doth most strictly Charge and Command all His loving Subjects , That they do with all Christian Reverence observe and perform the same , according to the Directions that shall be given in a Form of Prayer to be by Our Order and Command Published and dispersed for that purpose , as they tender the Honour of Almighty God , and would avoid his just Wrath and Indignation against this Land , and upon Pain of receiving such punishment as His Majesty may justly inflict upon such as shall contemn or neglect so Religious and necessary a Duty .
