Now We, the Lord Deputy and Council, in Obedience to His Majesties said Command, and to the end a particular time may be set a-part for a publick performance of this Duty, and that there may be an entire Vniformity of both Churches and Kingdoms in their Publick Thanksgiving to God for so great a Deliverance, do hereby Publish and Declare, and also strictly Charge and Command that the said ninth day of September next be set a part, and observed as a day of Publick Thanksgiving in and throughout His Majesties King­dom of Ireland.
