ALthough it can no way be doubted, but that His Majesties Right and Title to His Crowns and Kingdoms, is, and was every way compleated by the death of His most Royal Fa­ther of Glorious memory, without the Ceremony or Solem­nity of a Proclamation, yet since Proclamations in such Ca­ses have been always used, to the end that all good Subjects might upon this occasion testifie their Duty and Respect; And since the Armed Violence, and other the Calamities of many years last past, have hitherto deprived us of any such opportunity, wherein we might express our Loyalty and Allegeance to His Majesty, We therefore the Lords and Commons now assembled in Parliament, together with the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of the City of Lo [...]don, and other Freemen of this Kingdom now present, do according to our Duty and Allegeance, hearti­ly, joyfully, and unanimously acknowledge and Proclaim, That immediately upon the Decease of our late Soveraign Lord King Charls, the Imperial Crown of the Realm of England, and of all the Kingdoms, Dominions, and Rights be­longing to the same, did by inherent Birthright, and Lawful and undoubted Succession, Descend and come to His most Excellent Majesty, CHARLS the Second, as being Lineally, Iustly, and Lawfully next Heir of the Blood-Royal of this Realm; and that by the Goodness and Providence of Almighty God, He is of England, Scotland, France, and Ireland, the most Potent, mighty, and undoubt­ed King: And thereunto We most humbly and faithfully do Submit and Ob­lige Our Selves, Our Heirs, and Posterities for Ever.

God Save the King.
