A SERMON Preached before the Lord Mayor ALDERMEN AND CITIZENS of LONDON AT BOW CHVRCH on the 30th of January 168● By GEORGE HICKES D. D. Chr. Goodman of Obedience p. 52 53. Although the Popes for sundry Enormities have deposed Kings by unlawfull Autority the reason that moved them so to do was honest and just and meet to be received and executed by the Body of every Common-wealth L. Keeper Puckering in a Speech to both Houses And as the Case stands it may be doubted whether They or the Jesuits do offer more danger or be more speedily to be Repressed for albeit the Jesuits do Empoyson they join and concur with the Jesuits Gen. xlix 6. O my soul come not thou into their secret nor unto their assembly Lam. 4.20 The breath of our nostrils the anointed of the Lord was taken in their pits LONDON Printed for Walter Kettilby at the Bishops-Head in St. Paul's Church-Yard 1682. Moore Mayor Martis xxxi o die Januarii 1681 2. Annoque Regis Carol. Secund. Angl. c. 34 o. THis Court doth desire Dr. Hickes to Print his Sermon Preach'd at Bow-Church yesterday being the day of Humiliation for the Murther of his late Majesty of ever blessed Memory before the Lord Mayor Aldermen and Citizens of this City WAGSTAFFE TO The Right Honourable Sir John Moore LORD MAYOR Of the City of LONDON And to the Court of ALDERMEN My LORD AS in the primitive ages of Christianity much harm and dishonour happened unto the Christian Religion by † 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Dial. cum Tryph. in Apol. 2. Atheists Hereticks and False-teachers who were called Christians and under that glorious denomination taught ungodly blasphemous unrighteous and absurd things So in this unhappy Age wherein we live the Protestant which is but another name for the Primitive Christian Religion hath been much damnified and disgraced by Atheistical Heretical and other Seducing teachers who under the name of Protestants have taught the World wicked absurd and unchristian Doctrines contrary to the true Protestant Religion and so have disgraced the Protestant as Justin Martyr complained the others did the Christian Name Among these we have great reason to reckon all those who have taught the People the unchristian doctrines of Disobedience Treason and Rebellion of whom I may say as that Father said of the foresaid Christians that although they be 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 called Protestants yet they are not 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Orthodox and compleat Protestants indeed no more than the Sadducees and other Jewish Sectaries which he mentions by way of comparison were truly Orthodox Jews In this following Discourse I have set the precepts of the Gospel and the principles and practice of the primitive Christians against the principles and practices of these men observing the same method that a learned Divine did before me in the same Audience upon the next words before my Text on the 5th of * 1680. Dedicated to Sir Patience Ward November and one would think that what passed for true and seasonable Divinity then should not be misliked and condemned now But yet My Lord so it happens for some men I hear who like the preaching of this Doctrine one way do not like it another when it is charged home upon the culpable Parties to which it is to be feared they have too strong an inclination Otherwise I cannot well imagine why they should so publickly and plainly suggest that I pretended I could name a great many Authors and some yet living for the dangerous principles which I recited when I had none to name This Reflexion My Lord made me send back for the sheets from the Press that I might for my own Justification cite the Authors by their Names and if I have disobliged any by doing so they must not blame me because it was not my first intention but those who constrained me to be so plain I could have been far more numerous both in reciting their principles and in citing the Authors of them too for since I made this Discourse which was a year ago for my Parish * Dissenters Sayings in 2 Parts new Collections have been made out of their Writings but I have added very little contenting my self with what I had before provided out of their Originals and out of the Collections which were then to be had and as the Passages and Authors which I have cited are not the tenth of what hath been Printed so all that they have printed themselves or others have printed out of them is not the tenth nor perhaps the hundredth part of what men have taught and preached So much My Lord hath the contagion of the Popish principles of Rebellion over-run these Protestant Kingdoms and if what I have said in the following discourse may prove as an Antidote to expell them out of the Soul of any one man that is infected with them I shall not value what the incurable and impenitent sort say of me but rejoice when they shall revile me and persecute me and say all manner of evil against me falsly upon that account I hope I have said nothing neither as to the matter nor manner of Expression which the Subject and the Day will not excuse but if any think that any Passage in it is too keen let him not be offended but first consider the merits of the Crime and then imagine with himself what any of the Fathers or Apostles whom I have cited in the first part particularly what the Author of the 13th of the Romans if he had Preached upon that occasion would have said thereupon It hath formerly been laid with much acceptance to some Parties upon the Papists who undoubtedly had a considerable share in the execrable Tragedy and therefore I hope I shall not incur their displeasure by laying it upon Popish principles by which the Papists have debauched so many Protestants from their Allegiance and if upon the dismall view of the whole I have used some warm and sharp Expressions it was no more than was necessary upon that occasion to shew my just Resentments for such a Crying Abomination and the deadly Blow which the Protestant Religion hath received thereby I know your Lordship is very sensible of all this as every good Protestant ought to be I know your Loyalty is part of your Religion and that as St. * In Ps 124. Augustin speaks you faithfully serve and obey your temporal for the sake of your Eternal Lord. The sense of your duty as a Christian makes you a most obedient Subject and faithfull Magistrate under your Soveraign and also a most gratefull Citizen to such a mighty Benefactor to this Illustrious City and as all truly conscientious loyal men now love and praise you for these and your other exemplary vertues so they will hereafter honour your Memory for them when you shall be translated from this into the City of God I pray God assist you under the burthen of your present Magistracy in these
