The Declaration of Assent, What the KJV makers were required to believe.
All Government controlled Church of England ecclesiastical professionals were required to sign the Declaration.
By studying the 39 Articles, The Book of Common Prayer and the Ordering of Bishops, Priests and Deacons
one can gain insight into the minds of the KJV translators since it is what they had to swear that they believed.
Warning to all KJVOs. Warning. You may not recover your KJVO belief if you read this material.
This material is not filtered by an approved KJVO writter. This stuff is direct from the Church of England
and the British Government and has no bias for or against KJVO, just the facts.
The Declaration of Assent is sworn by all clergy when they are ordained or take up any post in the Church,
affirming their allegiance to the Anglican tradition. This has been in practice since at least 1571.
This comes from my Book of Common Prayer, 1662 edition.
Preface
The Church of England is part of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church, worshipping the one true God,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
It professes the faith uniquely revealed in the Holy Scriptures and set forth in the catholic creeds, which faith
the Church is called upon to proclaim afresh in each generation.
Led by the Holy Spirit, it has borne witness to Christian truth in its historic formularies, the Thirty-nine
Articles of Religion, The Book of Common Prayer and the Ordering of Bishops, Priests and Deacons.
In the declaration you are about to make, will you affirm your loyalty to this inheritance of faith as your
inspiration and guidance under God in bringing the grace and truth of Christ to this generation and making
Him known to those in your care?
Declaration of Assent
I,A B, do so affirm, and accordingly declare my belief in the faith which is revealed in the Holy Scriptures and
set forth in the catholic creeds and to which the historic formularies of the Church of England bear witness;
and in public prayer and administration of the sacraments, I will use only the forms of service which are
authorized or allowed by Canon.
So you see if they did not believe the articles, BOCP and the Ordering, they were lairs.
Over the next few days I will post the 39 articles or excerpts, I don't want to bore you.
After that I will get to excerpts from the Prayer Book and the Ordering.
Here is a link to the 39 Articles so you don't have to wait.

Here is a link to the UK gov web site so you can see this is controlled from the British parliament.

Of course these links are not exhaustive. The information on this in Church history is ubiquitous.
