Mayor . At a Common-Councel holden at the Guild-hall London , on Wednesday the 23 day of November 1659.

IT having pleased Almighty God to shew us so much of the Fruit of our own Hearts and Evil ways , as to let us see the very Foundations of Government Razed ; and that we have so much cause to fear our great Want of Fear and Love to his holy Name and Word , Worship and Sabbaths , Magistrates and Ministers , may justly provoke him to withdraw from us , and to Loath , Abhor and Leave us to the Lusts of our own Hearts , and to our great Weakness and Folly , till Confusion and Desolations make us become a Reproach to Religion , and a Scorn to all Nations .

In most humble desires of that good convincing Spirit of Promise , to give us a right sight and sense of our great Vileness , and his greater Goodness , yet able to Pardon , Recover and Heal us ; We desire to Bow down and humble our Souls before the mighty hand of God , that he may yet Pitty and Spare , Pardon and Heal , according to the Greatness of his Power and Goodness : That his Name may be glorified , and the Kingdom of our Lord Iesus enlarged , and these Nations setled in Peace and Righteousness , with Governors and Councellors , Iudges and Teachers after his own Mind and Heart , according to his Holy Word : And that He will not leave us in this Houre of Temptation , till he hath brought us through all our Fears , Troubles and Darkness , unto True Rest , Peace and Setlement .

For these great ends this Court hath appointed Friday the second of December next , solemnly to seek the Face of God , with Fasting and Prayer at Pauls Church ; and doth recommend it to the Ministers of the Gospel , to give notice hereof in all their several Churches and Congregations , and to desire their Assistance and Concurrence in their several Churches , as the Lord shall enable them and all his People throughout this City and Liberties thereof .

Sadler .
