A67235	The duty of honouring the King and the obligations we have thereto delivered in a sermon preached at Richmond in York-shire, on the 6th of February, 1685/6 being the day on which His Majesty began His happy reign : at a general assembly of the loyal gentry of those parts, held there on purpose to celebrate the King's quiet and peaceable succession to the throne of his ancestors / by Christopher Wyvil ...	Wyvill, Christopher, 1651?-1711.	1686 (1686)	Wing W3786; ESTC R9015	18,499	36

much greater Honour doth there then belong to the King himself who is the Publick Minister of God and his immediate Vicegerent 2. Another Obligation to this Duty may be taken from the Advantages that accrue to us through his Government for he is set over us for our good and makes it his business to take care of us and protect us And therefore to do him honour is but a just Retribution for the Benefits we receive by him 3. To which thirdly and lastly we are obliged from the Principles of our Holy Catholick Religion as it is derived throughout all Ages from Christ himself and as it now stands planted and reform'd in the Church of England Which Church as it teacheth us all true Faith towards God so it obligeth us to all true Loyalty to the King Nor can we any longer be good Members of this Church nor consequently good Christians then whilst we remain firmly Loyal The King hath often Declared himself well satisfied with the Principles of our Church as they are for Monarchy and Loyalty and if we would not have our actions contradict our Principles if we would have them still preserved in that good Opinion he hath of them we must honour him in all those particulars which I have mention'd to belong to this Duty which whosoever doth not conscientiously observe cannot be a truly Loyal Man nor doth he well deserve to be accounted as by being Members of this Church we all justly profess our selves to be a Member of the Catholick Church My Friends and Gentlemen I am very sensible that I have detained you very long But the Subject I have handled is Great and Noble Copious and Seasonable nor could I have in any tollerable degree discharged my Duty had I said less of it tho' I could say much more But I will make no Apology for the tediousness of this Discourse well knowing that a Congregation that Loves and Honours the King such as I believe this to be cannot be displeased tho' it may be tired with Exhortations to Loyalty Nor shall I detain you any longer then till I have Concluded with that short but comprehensive Form of Blessing the KING or wishing well unto Him which was so frequently made use of in Times of Old which is so suitable to the Day and my Text and wherein I doubt not but I shall have your hearty Consent and that is God save the KING Amen FINIS Ioh. 18. 36.
