Strong believer in Divine Right of Kings, JI held the authority of the Church in high regard. He was loyal to Protestantism and although he has misgivings about the extreme Presbyterian Reformation in Scot, he was suspicious of Catholicism.
He wanted to achieve stability and unity of religion across all three of his kingdoms, meant attempting to find a middle way between the high-church tradition (emphasised the authority of the clergy and rituals; kinda Catholic) and the low-church tradition (favoured simplicity in worship; like Puritans)
