CHARLES PORTER,  
THO: CONINGESBY.    
ALmighty God having in so wonderful a manner assisted their Majesties Arms in this Kingdom, as notwithstanding the disadvantage of places and numbers, in so short a time of this Campaign, to give them four Victories over the Enemy, in the last of which, the whole Forces of the Enemy are entirely defeated and dispersed. We hold it most just and fit to ascribe these Glorious successses to the Grace and Goodness of his Divine Majesty: And that all Their Majesties good Subjects, who have the benefit thereof, should with all Zeal and fervency of Spirit, pour forth to God their Sacrifice of Praise and Thanksgiving for the same: And that the same may be done with the greater Order and Regularity: We have thought fit to publish and declare, that Tuesday the Twenty eighth day of this Instant July, be, and is hereby appointed and set apart, as a day of Solemn Thanksgiving to Almighty God for all his aforesaid mercies, and be observed as such in all Churches, and chapels, and other places of public Worship within all parts of this Kingdom under their Majesties obedience, Except the City of Dublin, where the same hath been already most solemnly performed: And We have taken care for the Composing, Printing, and Publishing of public Prayers to be used on that Occasion, to be dispersed throughout the places aforesaid: And that none may be unprepared, for the due Celebration of so necessary a Duty: We do hereby appoint that this Our Proclamation be publicly red in all places, of public worship, on the Lords day next, preceédent to the said day of Thanksgiving: And We strictly Will and require all Persons, under Their Majesties obedience, that they be mindful to observe the said day, with all Gravity, Sobriety, and Devotion, suitable to so solemn an Occasion, that their Ingratitude for these Mercies may not render them unworthy of the Continuance and Progress, of Gods Blessing upon Vs.  
Given at the Council Chamber in Dublin the 16th. day of July, 1691.
