Deciphering marriage record 1800 Delting

[SCantwell]

I am trying to decipher a marriage record for Andrew Arthur and Margrat Herison who married in December 1800 in Delting but the word I am having trouble with is the word before Proclamation starting with a capital D which looks like Dew. Nearly all the marriage records on this page have the same word  before Proclamation and what does it mean?

Hi Sharee,
You will need to locate the snipping tool in your computer and capture and save a section of the document.

After you have saved it as a jpg or other permitted file type, attach it to a post so we can all see it.

I would say it's -
After Due Proclamation.

I agree.
ADDED - In other words, the requirement for the couple to proclaim to the congregation, their intentions to marry, had taken place.

Thank you sue and Neale1961.  I feel a bit silly as I should have realised what it was.

Nothing to feel 'silly' about! 

It's all well & good for us who know certain records (being Scottish) i.e. your question is understandable & welcome as it's helpful to others who may come across this post.
