*September* [1752], shall be called, reckoned and accounted to be the 14th
Day of *September*, omitting for that Time only the 11 intermediate nominal
Days of the common Calendar;
and that the several natural Days, which shall follow and succeed next after
the said 14th Day of *September*, shall be respectively called, reckoned and
numbered forwards in numerical Order from the said 14th Day of *September*,
according to the Order and Succession of Days now used in the present
Calendar; "
