A PROCLAMATION , Of both Houses of Parliament , For Proclaiming of His Majesty King of England , Scotland , France , and Ireland , Defender of the Faith , &c.

ALthough it can no way be doubted , but that His Majesties Right and Title to his Crowns add Kingdomes , 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 alwayes used , to the end that all Good Subjects might upon this occasion testifie their Duty and Respects ; And since the Armed Violence , and other the Calamities of these many years last past , have hitherto deprived Vs of any such opportunity ▪ wherein we might express Our Loyalty and Allegiance to his Majesty . Wée therefore the Lords and Commons now Assembled in Parliament , together with the Lord Mayor , Aldermen , and Commons of the City of London , and other Freémen of this Kingdom now present , do , according to Our Duty and Allegiance , heartily , joyfully and unanimously Acknowledge and Proclaim , That immediately upon the decease of Our late Soveraign Lord King Charles , the Imperial Crown of the Realm of England , and of all the Kingdoms , Dominions , and Rights belonging to the same , did by Inherent Birth-right , and lawfull and undoubted Succession , descend and come to His most Excellent Majesty Charles 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 , Heé is of England , Scotland , France , and Ireland the most Potent , Mighty , and undoubted King , Defender of the Faith , &c. And thereunto Wee most humbly and faithfully do submit and oblige our Selves , our Heirs and Posterities for ever .

Dated the 8th day of May 1660.
