We now come to the history of the "Authorized Version." At the period of the accession of James I, there were very strong controversies between the Puritan party and their opponents in the Church of England, and the king was by no means unwilling to play the part of mediator, so he resolved to convoke an assembly, where these discordant opinions be freely discussed. This conference was held at Hampton Court in January, 1604, and, in the proceedings, Reynolds, the Puritan, suggested to King James the project of a new translation of the Bible. James disliked exceedingly the Geneva version, and consented. A list of scholars was presented to him of which he approved. They were divided into six companies, meeting at Westminister, Oxford and Cambridge. There were forty seven persons engaged in producing the first revision which occupied about four years. The second examination was made by twelve: two selected out of each company. This took nine months, and the sheets were two years passing through the press.
