King James I of England - VI of Scotland

James VI & I was King of Scots as James VI from 1567 to 1625 and King of England and Ireland as James I from 1603 to 1625. He was a poet, a religious scholar, and a political writer. This was the King James who convened the Hampton Court Conference to create what became known as the King James Bible. (The bible itself, as a religious work, is attributed to Anonymous as the primary author.)

In your abuse thereof sinning against God harming yourselves both in person and goods, and raking also thereby the marks and notes of vanity upon you by the custom thereof making yourselves to be wondered at by all foreign civil nations and by all strangers that come among you to be scorned and held in contempt; a custom loathsome to the eye, hateful to the nose, harmful to the brain, dangerous to the lungs, and in the black stinking fume thereof nearest resembling the horrible stygian smoke of the pit that is bottomless.”
