At a Council held at Boston , March 10. 1668.

THe Governour and Magistrates being assembled in Council , and in some measure sensible of the many tokens of the Lords displeasure against the cutting short the Fruits of the Earth for sundry years past , and otherwise bringing us low more then formerly ; together with the many provoking Evils that do abound among us , to the great dishonour of God , and our Profession of his holy Name , and that notwithstanding all means used for to reclaim the same , which being in conjunction with sundry other things that are among us , threatning yet more displeasure against us , if the compassions of our tender hearted and long-suffering God do not timely prevent : Do therefore commend to all the Inhabitants of this Colony the Twenty fifth day of this instant to be kept a Publick Day of Humiliation , and spent in Fasting and Prayer to the Lord for pardon of whatever have been , or is provoking to his holy eyes , and that he will be pleased to give unto us , from the greatest to the least , truely to Repent of all our sins , and to reform the same ; and that those uncomfortable Breaches made in several Societies may be again repaired , and we may obtain his favourable Presence with us this following year , and his blessing upon our present Seed-time , that so it may appear that the Lords anger is turned away from us , and that he is yet in our Zion , ruling in the midst of us , uniting the hearts of his poor people to do all his pleasure , and nothing else . Also the present low Estate of the Churches of Christ in Europe , and especially in our dear Native Country , is to be humbly presented before the Lord .

By the Council , Edward Rawson Secret .
