"it is most evident that kings, queens, and other princes . . are ordained of god, are to be obeyed and honored by their subjects; that such subjects as are disobedient or rebellious against their princes, disobey god." an homily against disobedience and willful rebellion, church of england, 1570. what could most reasonably be concluded from the sermon above?

A homily is a sermon, and it was issued under Queen Elizabeth I for regular use in the pulpits of English parish churches.

One of the mean reaosn for issuing homilies was that thay could be read in place of a sermon by clergy  who did not hold a licence to preach. Because licences to preach were strictly controlled by the Elizabethan bishops and issued sparingly.Another reason for homelies was that common people, who were illiterate at that time, were "educated" and induced to obey their authorities as they obeyed God. As a conclusion ,rulers often used religious ideas and institutions to justify their rule.

the california missions began in the late 18th century as an effort to convert native americans to catholicism and expand european territory. there were 21 missions in all, lasting from 1769 until about 1833.   the missions were built by the spanish starting in 1769 in order to “colonize” the territory of alta california. so the missions were important because they were the means of settling california. it also wanted to keep other european countries out of alta california. building settlements along the coast would them meet these goals. missionaries wanted to convert the indians to the roman catholic faith. california indians did much of the work to build missions.
