King James VI & I has a message that Rome does not want you to hear.

Can anyone wonder why the Pope was determined to see this man dead?
He having to sleep under guard? Be under guard, night and day?

...he being dead, yet speaketh.

King James VI & I is the founding monarch of both Great Britain and the United States, two world superpowers. He is also the man who commissioned the Authorized King James Version of the holy scriptures, the glory of the English language.

The king, once renowned for his immense learning and wisdom, has, through the years, become the object of relentless character attacks. Wild claims have flown from every quarter. Some have even claimed that the king was Roman Catholic when, in actuality, he may have well been Rome's most powerful, deadly, and irreconcilable enemy.

In the absence of a balanced selection of the king's writings, the general populace has been at the mercy of rumors and revisionist historians. But now, after decades in hiding, King James' Workes, a collection of his writings published in 1616, is back in print.

A WARRIOR OF THE FAITH

In 1605, a Roman Catholic conspiracy to blow up King James and Parliament brought the king head-to-head with the pope himself and the great Cardinal Bellarmine, champion of the Roman church. With his tough, pungent prose, King James stirred up all of Europe as he disrobed Rome before their very eyes. He left her bare, naked, and bleeding. It has all been recorded in The Workes.

THE FRUITS OF HIS LABOURS

As a result of the king's writings, Catholics were converted to the gospel of Jesus Christ. According to The Workes, in some countries, Roman Catholic books were burned. Kings across the land began to stand up and assert their right to rule their own kingdoms without papal interference. In this context, a new truth comes to light. King James' now-scorned defense of the divine right of kings was a loud, staunch, effective battering ram against long-standing papal power wielded over kings and kingdoms through Roman Catholic recusancy.

King James' writings dealt such a blow and did so much damage to Roman power that she was driven more underground to work her wiles. King James' Workes is a critically important piece of reformation literature.

ACQUAINTED WITH GRIEF

According to the Bishop of Winton in the Preface to the Reader, the king had to pay a heavy price for his battle--the blows he received were many and grievous. In a moment of somber reflection, the king comments--

"...[I]n case the power and vertue of my aduertisements be not able effectually to worke, at least many millions of children and people yet unborne shall beare me witnesse, that in these dangers of the highest nature and straine, I have not bene defective: and that neither the subversions of States, nor the murthers of Kings, which may unhappily betide hereafter, shall have so free passage in the world for want of timely advertisement before."

--A Remonstrance for the Right of Kings, And The Independance Of Their Crownes

AN ENEMY OF ALL ERRORS

As a defender of the faith and protector of his isle, King James opposed any threat to the gospel of Jesus Christ--whether the threat of witchcraft workers or heretic theologians like D. Conradus Vorstius. King James sought to keep the gospel pure in his kingdom. While treating law-abiding dissenters with fairness and honesty, he made it known that he disagreed with their doctrinal errors.

FRESH INSIGHTS

The Workes contains many fresh truths fit for the consumption of those with ears to hear. The king's meditation upon Matthew 27:27-29, for example, offers a whole new way of seeing the events leading up to the crucifixion of the Lord Jesus Christ. His Basilicon Doron--the Kingly Gift--written to his son, Prince Henry, is full of pearls of wisdom and fatherly advice on kingship. His speeches to Parliament are important sources of precepts for understanding the nature of effective law and government. Read these in The Workes and so much more.

STILL RELEVANT

King James' writings are just as relevant today as they were 400 years ago. Contrary to popular belief, Daniel's fourth kingdom, Rome, never died. It is still around today, only superficially transformed from King James' day--her key characteristics and workings remain

, just with different names and under different guises. King James' Workes has keys. It is one witness in a link spanning across the centuries.
