An Ordinance of Parliament for a day of public Thanksgiving for the Peace concluded between ENGLAND and SCOTLAND.  
WHereas it hath pleased Almighty God to give a happy close to the Treaty of Peace between the two Nations of ENGLAND and SCOTLAND, by his wise providence, defeating the evil hopes of the subtle Adversaries of both Kingdoms; For which great Mercy it was by the Kings most Excellent majesty, the Lords and Commons in this present Parliament Enacted, That there should be a public Thanksgiving in all the Parish Churches of his majesty's Dominions;  
It is now ordained and declared by the Lords and Commons in Parliament, That the time for the Celebration of that public Thanks to Almighty God for so great and public a Blessing shall be on Tuesday the seventh of September next, by Prayers, Reading, and Preaching of the Word in all Churches and chapels of this Realm, whereof We require a careful and due observance: That we may join in giving Thanks, as we partake of the Blessing, with our Brethren in SCOTLAND, who have designed the same day for that duty.
