The Golden LegendThe History of Noah
The first Sunday in Sexagesima.
After that Adam was dead, died Eve and was buried by him. At the beginning, in the first age, the people lived long. Adam lived nine hundred and thirty years, and Methuselah lived nine hundred and sixty-nine years. Saint Jerome saith that he died the same year that the flood was. Then Noah was the tenth from Adam in the generation of Seth, in whom the first age was ended. The seventy interpreters say that this first age dured two thousand two hundred and forty-four years. Saint Jerome saith not fully two thousand, and Methodius full two thousand, etc.

The times of William TyndaleThe people relied ‘on the merit of their own works toward their justification, such as pilgrimages to images, kneeling, kissing, and cursing of them, as well as many other hypocritical works in their store of religion; there being marts or markets of merits, full of holy relics, images, shrines, and works of superstition, ready to be sold; and all things they had were called holy: holy cowls, holy girdles, holy pardons, holy beads, holy shoes, holy rules.

The times of William TyndaleThe moral and intellectual condition of the clergy can scarcely be described. Their power over the masses was complete. Decency was thrown aside, and morality unknown. Brothels were kept in London for the especial use of the priesthood. The confessional was abused, and profligacy was all but universal. … The moral state of the people under such teaching was almost beyond conception.

Translation to end all translations!
The New Testament of the King James Version was translated from the Received Text (Textus Receptus), called so because most extant texts of the time were in agreement with it. The Old Testament of the King James Version is translated from the Masoretic Hebrew Text.

King James
The King James Version of the Bible grew out of the king's distaste for the brief but potent doctrinal commentaries in the Geneva. He considered the marginal notes to be a political threat to his kingdom.

King James – his objections
• Exodus 1:9 a margin note claimed Hebrew midwives were correct in disobeying the Egyptian king's orders
• A note for 2 Chronicles 15:16 said that King Asa should have had his mother executed and not merely deposed for the crime of worshipping an idol.

King James – his objections
• The Geneva Bible was outspokenly anti-Roman Catholic
• The anti-Roman Catholic sentiment is most evident in the Book of Revelation: "The beast that cometh out of the bottomless pit (Rev. 11:7) is the Pope, which hath his power out of hell and cometh thence."
