A PROCLAMATION FOR Setting apart a Day of Solemn and Publick Thanksgiving throughout the whole KINGDOM . CHARLES R. WHereas it hath pleased Almighty God to manifest his own immediate Goodness , Wisdom , and Power , in his late Providence towards Us , and Our Kingdoms , wherein , beyond all Humane Deans and Contrivances , as well of Our Friends for Us , as of Our Adversaries against Us , he hath by the interposition of his own Power and Wisdom , after a long and tedious Exile , returned Us home to Our People , and , after a long , and seemingly invincible , Interruption , restored Our People and Kingdoms to their ancient Rights . Liberties , and Government ; and all this brought about , by his most wise and over-ruling Hand , without any effusion of Blood : But , instead thereof , filling the Hearts of Us , and Our People , as full of mutual Love , Confidence , and Joy , as became such a Restitution of King and People , whereby the Merry is not onely advanced , but the hopes of most happy consequences , thereupon , are increased : We cannot upon the due consideration hereof , but with all humility admire and adore the Merry and Goodness of God , in these his signal manifestations thereof ; and we looked , and still look upon them as invitations from Heaven to Us , and all Our People , unto most entire Thankfulness for the same unto Almighty God , and publick and chearful Expressions thereof . And whereas in the midst of those Our considerations , both Our Houses of Parliament by their Address of the One and twentieth of May last , have humbly shewed unto Us , That such is the inestimable blessing of Our Restitution to Our Royal Throne , which at once hath put a period to the Calamities of Three Kingdoms , and to all the Sorrows and Sufferings of Our Royal Person and Family , that they cannot but account it as an entrance into the state of Joy and Happiness , which obligeth all Our Subjects to render an Everlasting Tribute of Praise and Thanksgiving to Almighty God , for these glorious Mercies to his afflicted People . And to the end , some solemn Time may be set apart for the publick performance of this Duty ; and that all Our Subjects in England and Wales , and the Town of Berwick upon Twede , do equally share in the joys of this Deliverance , may be united in these Devotions , which are offered for it , They therefore humbly beseeched Us , that We would be pleased by Our Royal Proclamation to set apart some Day , for a publick Thanksgiving throughout all these Our Dominions . We willing that the just Tribute of Praise and Thanksgiving to Our Great Soveraign the King of Heaven and Earth be returned by Us , and all Our People for these his Deliverances and Mercies ; and that as his Mercy is of Universal concernment to Us and all Our Subjects , so , to the end , that the publick Returns of Our Praise to God , for the same , though it cannot equalize , yet it may in some measure answer the amplitude of the Benefit . We do hereby Publish and Declare , That the Twenty eight day of this instant June , be set apart and observed as a day of Publick Thanksgiving to Almighty God , throughout Our Kingdom of England , Dominion of Wales , and Town of Berwick , for this his great Mercy ; and We do direct and appoint , that this Our Proclamation be publickly read in all Churches and Chappels , on some Lords day , precedent thereunto , to the end that notice be taken thereof , and due Thanks and Praise may , upon the said Twenty eighth day of June , be offered up unto Almighty God by Us and all Our People , with one Heart , and that humble Supplications be poured out before him , for his continual Assistance and Improvement of this and all his Mercies , to the honor of his great Name , and the Safety , Peace and Benefit of all Our Kingdoms and Dominions . We willing and strictly commanding all Persons within these Our Dominions , with all Sobriety , Reverence , and Thankfulness , to set apart that Day to this Duty , and to observe the same as becomes so solemn an occasion .
