Hmm. British songwriter (not composer), born between 1600-1700, received many honors (a knighthood or title of nobility?). Can’t think of anyone who fits these clues.

Ooh, so close, but no, I am neither John nor Charles Wesley (who were both born a little after 1700). You’re on the right track, though.
