BY THE LORD LIEUTENANT AND COUNCIL . CLARENDON .

WHEREAS not only the Pious Christian Emperors in ancient times , but also of late His Majesties own most Religious Predecessors , Kings of this Realm , did cause the Days on which they began their several Reigns , to be publickly Celebrated every Year ( so long as they Reigned ) by all their Subjects , with Solemn Prayers and Thanksgiving to Almighty God . This Pious Custom received lately a long and doleful interruption upon occasion of the Barbarous Murder of His Majesties Most Dear Father of Blessed Memory , which changed the Day on which His Majesties Most Dear Brother succeeded to the Crown , into a Day of sorrow and Fasting . But His Majesty having thought fit to revive the former Laudable and Religious Practice , and having caused a Form of Prayer and Thanksgiving to be Composed by His Bishops to that purpose , did on the 23d . of December 1685 declare His Will and Pleasure that the said Form of Prayer should be forthwith Printed and Published , to be used yearly upon the Sixth Day of February ( the Day on which His Majesty began to Reign ) in all Churches and Chappels within His Kingdom of England , Dominion of Wales , and Town of Berwick upon Tweed . And whereas by Letters to vs the Lord Lieutenant , His Majesty hath signified that it is His Pleasure that the said Form of Prayer and Thanksgiving be used in this Kingdom upon the Day aforesaid ; and that we should give such Order therein as should be requisite , and has been usual upon the like occasions .

WE the Lord Lieutenant and Council , in Obedience to His Majesties said Command , and that there may be an entire Vniformity of both Churches and Kingdoms in their Publick Thanksgiving on the Day aforesaid , do hereby Publish and Declare , and also strictly Charge and Command that the said Sixth Day of February yearly ( during His Majesties Reign ) be set a-part and observed as a Day of Publick Thanksgiving in and throughout this His Majesties Kingdom of Ireland ; and that the same Form of Prayer and Thanksgiving prepared in England for that occasion ( which we have ordered to be Printed here ) be on the Sixth Day of February yearly used in all Churches and Chappels in this His Majesties Kingdom of Ireland : Whereof all Persons , whom it may concern , are to take Notice .
