THE HOLY GOD,Having by a long and Continual Series of hisAfflictive Dispensations in and by the present WARR with the HEATHEN NATIVES Of this Land, written and brought to pass Bitter Things against his own Covenant people in this Wilderness, yet so that wee evidently discern that in the midst of His Judgement hee hath remembered MERCYES, with many Singular Intimations of his Fatherly Compassion reserving numerous of our Encampments from Desolation Threatened and attempted by THE ENEMY, And giving us especially of late with many of our Confederates Many Signal Advantages against them, without such Disadvantage to ourselves as formerly wee have been sensible of, if it bee The Lordes Mercy That wee are not CONSUMED, It certainly bespeaks our positive Thankfulness when our Enemyes are in any measure disappointed or destroyed; and fearing the Lord would take notice under so many Intimations of his returning Mercyes, wee should be found an Insensible people as not standing before Him with THANKSGIVING As well as lauding him with our Complaints in the time of pressing Afflictions: Therefore THE COUNCIL has thought meete to appoint and set apart The Last Days of this instant November as a time of Solemn Thanksgiving and praise to God for such his Goodeness and Favour; And The COUNCIL doth commend it to the Respective Ministers, Elders, and to the people of this Jurisdiction: Solemnly and seriously to keep the same Beseeching, that being perswaded by the Mercyes of God wee may all, even this whole People gather at the appointed Place to do Wership and to sacrifice our Bodies and Soules upon the Blood-Soaked Alter of THANKSGIVING You are invited to join us for yet another action-packed Thanksgiving party.
