The state of monarchy is the supremest thing upon earth; for kings are not only God’s lieutenants upon earth and sit upon God’s throne, but even by God himself they are called gods. In the Scriptures (Bible) kings are called gods, and their power is compared to Divine power. Kings are also compared to fathers of families, for a king is truly the parents of the country, the political father of his people. And lastly, kings are compared to the head of the body of men… I would not have you meddle with such ancient rights of mine as I have received from my predecessors [ancestors], possessing them as ancestral customs. All novelties [new things] are dangerous as well in a politic as in a natural body, and therefore I would be loath [would hate] to be argued with about my ancient rights and possessions. Based on the excerpt, explain King James I purpose for writing about the supreme power of kings?
