earth , by the blessing of God , through your continual influence and illustrious example . Instructed by the Holy Scriptures , which , as an undoubted revelation from God , we receive as the only rule of our
faith and practice , to Honour the King , as well as to Fear God , we abhor and detest all principles of disloyalty ; and , as far as our influence may extend among those of your Majesty ' s subjects who are the objects of our pastoral instruction , we shall continue , by our constant teaching , advice and example , to discountenance sedition and disorder in all their forms , and strongly to enforce subjection to the laws , and to all civil authorities constituted by the state ; and no longer than we thus prove ourselves worthy , shall we expect the protecting shade of the laws to be extended over us .
Hitherto , however , we have had the unspeakable satisfaction to witness a strict adherence to these duties among our societies , notwithstanding the unexampled pressure of distress in the nation , and in the manufacturing districts in particular , in which they have largely shared , but which they have endured

protection which in all cases , while engaged in this arduous work , we have received from the Government of our country , and from your Majesty ' s representatives filling official stations in the foreign dependencies of the British empire .
That Almighty God might bless his late Majesty in his person , his family and his government , was with us a subject of daily prayer , both in public and in private ; and since it has pleased the wise Disposer of events to remove him from an earthly to a celestial crown , those petitions have been incessantly offered up
in behalf of your Majesty ; and we shall continue , with deep sincerity and fervent devotion , to pray that God , " who giveth salvation to kings , " may have your Majesty in his constant care and keeping ; that Divine Wisdom may direct all your Majesty ' s counsels for the benefit of your
people , and the good of the world at large ; that it may please Him to grant to your Majesty a long and prosperous reign , marked with peace at home and abroad ; and that at last your Majesty may be brought to the eternal enjoyment of the ineffable glory of the King of kings .
Signed by order and on behalf of the Methodist Ministers , assembled in their Seventy-seventh Annual Conference , JABEZ BUNTING , President . Liverpool , July 26 , 1820 .
