		In the act of writing the Basilikon Doron, James participates in a metaphorical begetting that is perhaps finally more important than his original physical begetting of Henry because the text guarantees the making of Henry who, as a king, becomes responsible for making others.
		Akrigg further suggests that the Basilikon Doron may also be modeled, in part, on the manuscript book of verses that James's mother composed for him under the title The Institution of a Prince ("The Literary Achievement of King James," University of Toronto Quarterly 44 [19751: 116).
		The emphasis the Basilikon Doron places on the king as a father can be seen by comparing this text to the "Paterne for a Kings Inauguration" (1619), in which James encourages Charles to model himself on Christ the Son rather than on God the Father (James I, The Workes, 6ol-zi).

		In 1603 King James VI of Scotland published The Trew Law of Free Monarchies and a revised and expanded version of Basilikon Doron in London for his new English subjects (McIlwain, ix; Kinney, 61).
		Basilikon Doron, which was entered in the Stationer's Register on March 26, 1603 (only one day after Elizabeth's death and James' accession were announced), became immediately popular as Londoners sought an introduction to their new king (--).
		Moreover, the doctrine of the Absolutist State found in Basilikon Doron and The Trew Law of Free Monarchies was far from the only State-endorsed ideology available to Shakespeare and his audiences, as the growing tension between Parliament and the King in the seventeenth century makes clear.

	False Sanctity
		Henry Peacham utilized ideas publicized in Basilicon Doron by King James I in order to create some emblems depicted in Minerva Britanna, one of which includes Emblem 171, entitled Sanctitas simulata (Counterfeit Sanctity), which is modeled after a passage selected from Section 24 of Basilicon Doron.
		This passage appears to the left of the emblem itself in the margin along with a long note on the Earle of Gourie.
		Consequently, James wrote in Basilicon Doron about their false sanctity, for they should be obedient to a ruler appointed by God.

		From 1582 (`The Flyting') to 1585 (`Lepanto') to 1598 (Basilicon Doron) there is a clear trajectory of Venetian influence among the Scottish court and its writers.
		Finally, the context in which the word appears in Basilicon Doron may also provide a clue as to what it meant to James, though again any such derivation, it must be emphasized, is speculative.

		Unlike the relatively unstructured Minerva Britanna, all three even reproduce the three-book structure of Basilikon Doron, so that book 1 of each deals with the prince's duty to God; book 2 with duties of kingship; book 3 with political implications of personal behaviour.
		Produced in 1621-22 long after Minerva Britanna, Peacham's final emblem book was his manuscript Emblemata Varia, again an approach to a potential patron, Sir Julius Caesar, Master of Rolls for life as of 1614, and an influential administrator under James.
		Differing markedly in content from the previous Basilikon Doron manuscripts and Minerva Britanna, this collection of twenty emblems in pen and ink is a fresh departure for Peacham, though his last known work in the genre.

	The Life of King James I of England
		As a King, James had a special relationship with God and could therefore write religious poetry from a special viewpoint.
		James's poetry is competent, and sometimes he manages a striking line or two; one of his best poems is the sonnet he wrote prefacing his book Basilikon Doron (1599).
		The majority of James's written works are concerned with theology and the justification of the theory of Divine Right, and for those reasons he must be considered as a major writer of political philosophy.

		This splendid dais, in the Jacobean (and other) era(s), allowed the royal family to catch the assembled consciences and attention of their subjects; at the same time, however (Claudius unfortunately forgets), the dais creates an atmosphere of intense scrutiny by which the king himself may be judged.
		In James I's own book on kingship, the Basilikon Doron, he recognizes that "A king is as one set on a stage, whose smallest actions and gestures, all the people gazingly do behold" (qtd.
		To modify Hamlet's remark to explain this high degree of scrutiny, we can potentially rephrase his argument thus: 'the play's the thing / Wherein I may catch the countenance of the king; but he will be certain to catch my own.'
