WHatsoever dangers are threatned or feared, either by divisions amongst our selves, or practices from Enemies abroad, we have assurance out of the word of God that we are not in the least danger, if God Almighty be not incensed against us for our sins and wickednesse, which our Consciences testifie that he is ex­ceedingly against every one of us in particular, and the King­dome in generall, yet we beleeve that if we doe heartily and sin­cerely humble our selves and turne to the Lord, crying mightily to him in fervent Prayer, with a lively faith in Christ we shall certainly be delivered from all evills and dangers, and enjoy all needfull blessings and be­nefits to the whole state and Kingdome, therefore the severall Ministers within the Cities of London and Westminster and the late Lines of Communication in their respective Con­gregations are desired upon this ensuing day of Humiliation, being the six and twentieth of this Instant April, earnestly to seeke the Lord, who is the God of all wisedome and help, in much mercy to this sinfull and distracted Nation, so to direct and blesse the Coun­cells and proceedings of the Parliament at this present, that his heavy Judgements may be diverted from us and truth and peace established throughout the three Kingdomes.

Ordered by the Lords and Commons, That this Declaration be sent by the Lord Mayor, to the severall Ministers in the severall Congregations within the respective pla­ces aforesaid.
