What is the most likely purpose that James i authored
this document?
Kings are justly calls gods, for that they exercise a
manner or resemblance of divine power upon earth for if
you will consider the attributes to God, you shall see how
they agree in the person of a king, God hath power to
create or destroy, make war or unmake at his pleasure, to
give life or send death, to judge all and to be judged nor
accountable to none, to raise low things and to make high
things low at his pleasure, and to God are both soul and
body due. And the like power have kings: they make and
unmake their subjects, they have power of raising and
casting down, of life and of death, judges over all their
subjects and in all causes and yet accountable to none but
God only
to convince the people he should be king
to force people to obey his wishes
to convince people to worship the king
to argue in favor of the divine right of kings
