AN ACT Appointing Thursday the Thirteenth of June , 1650. to be kept as a Day of Solemn Fasting and Humiliation ; and declaring the Reasons and Grounds thereof .

ALthough this Nation hath enjoyed many Blessings , and great Deliverances from the hands of God , yet have the People thereof multiplied their Sins , as God hath multiplyed his Blessings upon them , especially the Sins of Vnthankfulness and Vnfruitfulness , under such Gospel means and Mercies , which may most justly provoke the Lord to multiply his Judgements upon this Nation . The Parliament taking the same into serious consideration , as also the pernicious Designs of the Enemies of this Commonwealth , to engage the same in a New and Bloody war ; and being truly sensible of their own inability to prevent or disappoint the same ; and to testifie , That their whole dependance is upon the Lord alone , and upon the Freeness of his Grace in Christ , Do enact and Ordain , and be it Enacted and Ordained , That Thursday the Thirteenth of June next enfuing , be observed and kept in all Churches and Chappels in England and Wales , and the Town of Berwick upon Tweed , a solemn Day of Fasting and Humiliation for the fore-mentioned Sins , and for all other the Transgressions whereof this Nation is guilty ; and for imploring the Favor of God , for a Blessing upon the Counsels and Endeavors of the Parliament , and upon their Forces by Land and by Sea ; and that our gracious God would be pleased to give the People of this Nation a heart to serve him in sincerity ; and to unite them against all Combinations and Practices of Forreign or Domestique Enemies to this Cause of God ( which the Parliament hath , and shall by his Blessing and Assistance , maintain to the end ) That so at last , through the Goodness and Mercy of God , this Commonwealth may be Established in all Truth and Peace , to the Glory of God , and Happiness of this Nation . And the Ministers of the respective Churches and Chappels aforesaid , are hereby required to give notice hereof on the Lords-day next preceding the said Thirteenth of June ; at which time also the said Ministers are required to publish this present Act .

Die Martis , 21 Maii , 1650.
