Mr. Buchanan was 64 years old when he began tutoring the young king.KING JAMES BEGINS TO REIGN IN SCOTLAND.King James began to rule his native Scotland when he was 19 years old.A few years later, he took Anne of Denmark to be his queen.King James loved his wife and wrote beautiful poetry for her.Together they had nine children.Once, when the King and Queen were out hunting, Queen Anne accidentally killed the King’s favorite hu nting dog, Jewell.The Queen felt badly about this and the King bought her a gift to easeKing James believed in the Divine Right of Kings and the monarch’s duty to reign according to God’s law and the public good.In order to pas s on his kingly instruction to his eldest son, Prince Henry, King James wrote Basilicon Doron which means, “the Kingly Gift”.Basilicon Doron was not meant for general publication, but for the instruction of the young prince in the likely event that his father would not survive to instruct him—King James was sickly and survived a number of assassination attempts.The King bound his printer Robert Waldegrave to secrecy and ordered an edition of only seven copies.Somehow, however, intelligence of the book and its contents got abroad.Subsequently, there was so much demand for Basilicon Doron that forged（稳步前进）, corrupted copies were being distributed.With these pressures, the King thenlishedBasilicon Doron is a short treatise（论文）, only 153 pages long.It consists of three short volumes, the first of which is “A King’s Christian Duetie towards God.”James D’israeli said, “James had formed the most elevated conception of theIn Basilicon Doron, King James’ understanding of Christian discipleship, style and prose are at their best.He skillfully intertwines sacred scripture with godly and Christian advice.The King offers his son this important advice on knowing God:Diligently read his word, & earnestly...pray for the right understanding thereof.Search the scriptures saith Christ for they will bear testimony of me.The whole Scriptures saith Paul are profitable to teach, to improve, to correct, and to instruct in righteousness, that the man of God may be perfect unto all good“The whole Scripture contayneth but two things: a command and a prohibition.Obey in both...The worship of God is wholly grounded upon the Scripture,King James’ great aspiration to be the first King of both Scotland and England was realized in 1603 upon the death of Queen Elizabeth.When he ascended to the English throne that year he had already been king of Scotland for 36 years.He was now known as King James VI of Scotland & I of England. The king played a masterly political game and kept his kingdom out of war.For the first time a Scottish monarch wielded effective authority over the more far-flung areas of the realm（领域）.He supported literature both through his own writing and his patronage（赞助）.There was peace during his reign—both with his subjects and foreign powers.As a Scotsman ruling over the English, the King endured much racism and slander—especially from the once powerful English Lords and Ladies who he replaced with his Scottish countrymen.Unfortunately, many of tod ay’s historians look to the writings of hostile sources such as Sir Anthony Weldon and Francis Osborne as accurate descriptions of this great king.One of the king’s detractors（诽谤者）, Sir Anthony Weldon, was knighted by King James but was subsequently dismissed after King James found racist writings by Weldon about the King’s native Scotland.Many historians today quote Weldon as if he were a reliable historical source. Examples of Weldon’s racism are found in his treatise entitled, “A Perfect Description of the People and Country of Scotland” where he says that the Scots are a “stinking people” who hold “fornication...but a pastime”.He also said,“...their flesh naturally abhors cleanness.Their breath commonly stinks of pottage...to be chained in marriage with one of them, were to be tied to a dead carcass, and cast into a stinking ditch...I do wonder that...King James should be born in so stinking a town as Edinburgh in lousy Scotland.”Despite this obvious bias, historians continue to consult the writings ofother men—but he did not do this until 25 years after King James was dead and could not defend himself.Today’s sodomite/ homosexual community is touting the King as one of their own, which he was not.These misinformed sources, virtually without exception, fail to mention that King James and his Queen had nine children together.You can read about the rumors in this article or check out an excellently researched book on the subject by Stephen Coston, Sr.entitled, King James: Unjustly Accused?“They quarrel me (not for any evil or vice in me) but because I was a king, which they thought the highest evil, and because they were ashamed to profess this quarrel they were busy to look narrowly in all my actions, and I warrant you a moat—James I, Basilicon Doron The religion was also an enemy of king James.Papists (as King James called them)attempted to assassinate him a number of times.Most notably, in 1605 Roman Catholic Guy Fawkes attempted to blow up Parliament when the king was to have been present.The conspiracy was discovered and all co-conspirators were executed.This failed attemptKing James was an evangelist of the true gospel, which automatically made himRoman superstition and spurned them yet he treated Romanist subjects fairly.Catholic ambassador Nicolo“He is a Protestant...the King tries to extend his Protestant religion to the whole island. The King is a bitter enemy of our religion.He frequently speaks of it in terms of contempt.He is all the harsher because of this last conspiracy against his life...He understood that the Jesuits had a hand in it.”Despite his detractors, King James the Ⅵ of Scotland and Ⅰ of England was aAs a lover of the theatre, King James became patron to the troop of one of his most famous subjects—William Shakespeare the playwright.Shakespeare’s troop came to be known as the King’s Men.Shakespeare and the King held a special relationship as they both loved literature. Shakespeare even wrote his famous play, “Macbeth”specifically for King James.Another little recognized fact is that King James the Ⅵ and Ⅰ is the founding monarch of the United States.Under his reign, we have the first successful colonies planted on the American mainland—Virginia, Massachusetts, and Nova Scotia (Latin for New Scotland) in SE Canada.The King himself ordered, wrote and authorized the Evangelistic Grant Charter to settlethat part of America, commonly called Virginia...in propagating of Christian religion to such people as yet live in darkness...to bring a settled and quiet。
