: If it's a colonial document, or other type of historical document, I would say this is it. But if it's simply and old expression in a contemporary document, I'd translate it as: "I hereby make known..."

Make (sb/sth) known, the object pronoun is necessary in the phrase, unless it is a passive voice construction. "All those who", quite an acceptable grammar construction, in my humble opinion
