It is now ordained and declared by the Lords and Commons in Parliament, That the time for the Celebration of that publike Thanks to Almighty God for so great and pub­like a Blessing shall be on Tuesday the seventh of September next, by Prayers, Read­ing, and Preaching of the Word in all Churches and Chappels of this Realm, whereof We require a carefull and due observance: That we may joyn in giving Thanks, as we partake of the Blessing, with our Brethren in SCOTLAND, who have designed the same day for that duty.
