AN ACT For setting apart Wednesday the Thirteenth day of October , 1652 , For a Day of Publique Fasting and Humiliation .

WHereas the most wise God , whose Iudgements are unsearchable and ways past finding out , hath by his over-ruling Providence made a breach upon that Amity ( which the Parliament hath in all sincerity endeavored to conserve ) between this Commonwealth & the Vnited Provinces ; The Parliament of England well knowing it to be their duty , in all the turns of Providence to acknowledge God , and to seek unto him to direct their Paths ; and also considering the Word of Truth doth teach , That Sin onely doth separate between God and a People , Have thought fit to admonish and stir up the People of this Nation to confess their sins unto the Lord , and to seek his Face , That he would be pleased to grant unto us Repentance and Pardon through the Blood of his dear Son Iesus Christ who is our Peace , and by the Blood of his Cross reconciles all things in Heaven and Earth : And humbly to beseech him to direct and bless the Councels and Actions of the Parliament , to the spiritual and temporal welfare of the people of this Commonwealth ; and more particularly ▪ That he will be pleased to shew them the way how the saving truth of the Gospel may be best advanced and propagated , and whatsoever is contrary to sound Doctrine & the power of Godliness suppressed : And likewise , That he would vouchsafe his Presence with , and Blessing upon the Forces and Navy of this Commonwealth , and out of all the Troubles wherewith he is pleased to exercise us , to bring forth a righteous and lasting peace to his People to his own Glory : And to the end the People of this Nation may have an opportunity for this purpose , Be it Enacted by this present Parliament , and the Authority thereof , That Wednesday the Thirteenth day of October , 1652. be set apart to be observed as a day of solemn Fasting and Humiliation in all Cities , Towns and places within England , Wales , and the Town of Berwick upon Tweed ; and that the Ministers of the respective Parishes & places aforesaid , upon the Lords day next preceding the day so to be observed , do give notice hereof , that the people may the better attend the Exercises of that day . And for the more full observation thereof , The Parliament doth forbid the holding or using of any Fairs , Markets , and servile Works of mens ordinary Callings on the Day thus set apart : And all Majors , Sheriffs , Iustices of Peace , Constables and other Officers , are hereby enjoyned to take special care for the observation of the said Day accordingly .
