King James 1 was the son of Mary Queen of Scots ( beheaded by Queen Elizabeth, her cousin)

When Elizabeth died ...childless.....James ( of Scotland) became King.

James wasn’t keen on the Presbyterian influence in Scotland nor of the Puritans, who were.

Calling for a new Bible ( he rejected the Geneva Bible) he ordained the making of the King James Bible.

James was raised by Presbyterian guardians, to his mother’s consternation.
But myself having married the daughter of a Presbyterian minister, I can understand why he might not have been too keen on the rigidity of the denomination.
My upbringing was just short of services with parishioners tossing snakes back-and-forth.
