[QUOTE="JohnEGreen, post: 2130015, member: 223921"] Well to be honest I have not seen the program but do agree it is strange that his authorised version of the bible was not mentioned. Of course several people in my family tree wanted to blow him up. But non the less he was an important historical figure And the King James version bible was one of his notable achievements. There is another publication of his that is worth mentioning I wonder if they did. Here is a quote from it hope that's OK as don't want to upset any one by using other peoples quotations them being the bane of forums and all. " Have you not reason then to bee ashamed, and to forbeare this filthie noveltie, so basely grounded, so foolishly received and so grossely mistaken in the right use thereof? In your abuse thereof sinning against God, harming your selves both in persons and goods, and raking also thereby the markes and notes of vanitie upon you: by the custome thereof making your selves to be wondered at by all forraine civil Nations, and by all strangers that come among you, to be scorned and contemned. A custome lothsome to the eye, hatefull to the Nose, harmefull to the braine, dangerous to the Lungs, and in the blacke stinking fume thereof, neerest resembling the horrible Stigian smoke of the pit that is bottomelesse." His take on tobacco and smoking titled A Counterblaste to Tobacco [/QUOTE]
