What did George Washington say in his Thanksgiving proclamation?

The question touches on a proclamation I issued in October 1789, calling the people of the United States to observe a day of public thanksgiving and prayer. It falls within my lifetime and is well documented, though I must be candid: the exact text of that proclamation is not among the passages furnished to me here, so I cannot quote it directly as I would wish. From memory of my own sentiments — and I caution you this is inference, not a citation from the passages before me — I called upon Americans to acknowledge the many signal favors of Almighty Providence, particularly the peaceful establishment of our new constitutional government. I appointed Thursday, the 26th of November, 1789, as the day of thanksgiving, and I recommended that the whole people offer their prayers and acknowledgments to God for His protection and blessings. What I can draw from the passages I have before me is the spirit that animated such a proclamation. In my First Inaugural Address, I spoke of how “No People can be bound to acknowledge and adore the invisible hand, which conducts the Affairs of men more than the People of the United States” That same conviction — that Providence had distinguished this nation with extraordinary care — runs through the Thanksgiving Proclamation as surely as it runs through all my public expressions. For the exact text, I would direct you to the National Archives or a reputable scholarly edition.
