<P>_ALthough it can no way be doubted, but that His Maje&s;ties Right and Title to his Crowns add Kingdomes, is, and was every way compleated by the death of His mo&s;t Royal Father of Glorious Memory, without the Ceremony or Solemnity of a Proclamati|on; Yet &s;ince Proclamations in &s;uch Ca&s;es have been alwayes u&s;ed, to the end that all Good Subjects might upon this occa&s;ion te&s;tifie their Duty and Re&s;pects; And &s;ince the Armed Violence, and other the Calamities of the&s;e many years la&s;t pa&s;t, have hi|therto deprived Vs of any &s;uch opportunity&punc; wherein we might expre&s;s Our Loyal|ty and Allegiance to his Maje&s;ty. W&eacute;e therefore the Lords and Commons now A&s;|&s;embled in Parliament, together with the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of the City of <HI>London,</HI> and other Fre&eacute;men of this Kingdom now pre&s;ent, do, according to Our Duty and Allegiance, heartily, joyfully and unanimou&s;ly Acknowledge and Pro|claim, That immediately upon the decea&s;e of Our late Soveraign Lord King <HI>Charles,</HI> the Imperial Crown of the Realm of <HI>England,</HI> and of all the Kingdoms, Dominions, and Rights belonging to the &s;ame, did by Inherent Birth-right, and lawfull and un|doubted Succe&s;&s;ion, de&s;cend and come to His mo&s;t Excellent Maje&s;ty <HI>Charles</HI> the Se|cond, as being Lineally, Iu&s;tly, and Lawfully next Heir of the Blood Royal of this Realm; And that by the Goodne&s;s and Providence of Almighty God, He&eacute; is of <HI>Eng|land, Scotland, France,</HI> and <HI>Ireland</HI> the mo&s;t Potent, Mighty, and undoubted King, De|fender of the Faith, <HI>&amp;c.</HI> And thereunto Wee mo&s;t humbly and faithfully do &s;ubmit and oblige our Selves, our Heirs and Po&s;terities for ever.</P>
