WHeras by the death of Our late Soveraign Lord King CHARLS, of Blessed Memory, the Imperial Crowns of England, Scotland, France and Ireland did then immediately, solely and rightfully by inherent Birth-right, and lawfull and undoubted Succession, descend and come to his Most Excellent Majestie, Charls the Second, as being Li­neally, Iustly, and Lawfully next Heir of the Bloud-Royal of these Realms; and although it can no way be doubted, but that his Ma­jesties Right and Title to his Crowns and Kingdoms, was, and is every way compleated by the Death of his most Royal Father of Glorious Memory, without the Ceremony or Solemnity of a Proclamation: Yet seeing Proclamations in such Cases have been always used, to the end all good Subjects might upon such occasions testifie their Duty and Respect; And considering that the armed Violence, and other Calamities of many Years last past, have hitherto deprived us of any such Oppor­tunity, wherein VVe might Express Our Loyalty and Allegiance to his Majestie: VVe therefore the General Convention of Ireland, together with the Lords Commissioners for Government and Management of the affairs in Ireland, and the Commissioners for Government of the Armie, and divers of the Nobility of this Kingdom now present, and the Mayor, Al­dermen, Sherives and Commons of the City of Dublin, and the Officers and Souldiers of the Army in and about the said City, and other Freemen of this Kingdom now present, do ac­cording unto our Duty and Allegiance, heartily, joyfully and unanimously acknowledg, pub­lish, declare and Proclaim, That the said high and mighty Prince Charls the Second, immediate­ly from and after the death of his said Royal Father of happy Memory, was and is become our onely, Lawfull, Lineal, and Rightfull liege Lord, CHARLES by the Grace of God the most Potent, Mighty and Vndoubted King of England, Scotland, France and Ireland, Defen­der of the Faith &c: To whom VVe do acknowledg all Faith and constant Obedience with all hearty and humble Affections, and to whom VVe do most faithfully and humbly Submit and Oblige Our selves, Our heirs and posterities for Ever: beseeching God by whom Kings do reign to bless his Royal Majesty with long and happy years to Reign over us.
