I thought I had read that King James wanted to create a new Bible, since his views differed that of the Geneva Bible that the Reformers used. Thought it had something to do with a divorce he wanted also...So, he manipulated it..........tisk tisk.
Actually, at one point, there were three popes at one time! One in Rome, one in Spain, and the last in France, or something. I dont remember their names but you can probably look it up.

they found a sea way from Southern Europe to the American continent in the 1400 yes, but people from Europe had been to America almost 500 years prior to this so your use of ' 'on discovered should perhaps have been "" but I get your drift and indeed you are correct by it though as it cant be called anything but a rediscover
Native American that innhabited and still do the American continent(s) was already there on both occasions so..........
Second: by the 1600 the colonisation of America started to speed up but England was far form alone, Spain, France,Holland , Sweden all had interest in the "new" continent, so technically they (England) had not already settled America by the 1600 they, but was in the middle of that process and only a limited parts of it(America) too
Of course, that's why 'discovered' is in quotes( i was too lazy to press the shift key). First were the Native Americans, then the Vikings(I think the first Viking there was Eric the Red?), then finally Europeans, by accident.
