Our Will is herefore , and We straitly Command and Charge , that the said Fast be religiously and solemnly kept throughout this Our whole Kingdom , by all Our Subjects and People within the same , upon the first Wednesday of June , being the seventh day thereof : Requiring hereby the Reverend Archbishops and Bishops , to give notice hereof to the Ministers in their respective Diocesses , that upon the Lords-day immediatly preceeding the said seventh day of June , they cause read this Our Proclamation from the Pulpit in every Paroch Church ; and that they exhort all Our loving Subjects to a sober and devout performance of the said Fasting and Humiliation , as they tender the favour of Almighty GOD , the duty they owe to Vs , and the peace and preservation of their Country ; Certifying all those who shall contemn or neglect such a religious and necessary work , they shall be proceeded against , and punished as contemners of Our Authority , and persons disaffected to the Honour and Safety of their Countrey .

Given at Edinburgh , the third day of May , 1665. and of Our Reign the seventeenth year . GOD SAVE THE KING .
