“Inasmuch as the great Father has given us this year an abundant
harvest of Indian corn, wheat, peas, squashes and garden
vegetables, and has made the forests to abound with game and the
sea with fish and clams, and inasmuch as He has protected us from
the raids of savages, has spared us from pestilence and disease,
has granted us freedom to worship God according to the dictates of
our own conscience; now I, your magistrate, do proclaim that all ye
Pilgrims, with your wives and ye little ones, do gather at ye meeting
house, on ye hill, between the hours of 9 and 12 in the day time, on
Thursday November ye 29th of the year of our Lord one thousand
six hundred and twenty three, and the third year since ye Pilgrims
landed on ye Plymouth Rock, there to listen to ye preacher and
render thanksgiving to ye Almighty God for all His blessings.”
