Henry licensed 1,500 copies, and it became the first Bible in English to be sold legally in England.
The KJV was NOT the first legal English Bible. Try again. (HINT the first one was YEARS before, and it had nothing to do with King James)

God was in control over the first legal English language Bible, yes.

God was also in control over the printing press at the time of Luther and also into the printing of the KJV.

The 1611 KJV was not the first legal English language Bible.

Since you directly claim that God was in control over the printing press in the printing of the 1611 edition of the KJV, you are in effect saying that God was directly responsible for every word in that 1611 edition. Your statement makes God responsible for the factual errors [the name of the wrong king "Jehoiachin" at 2 Kings 24:19 in the 1611 edition; the name of the wrong group of people "Amorites" at 1 Kings 11:5; etc.] in the 1611 edition. According to your statement, God controlled and directed the printing of "God" at Jeremiah 49:1 instead of "Gad" as in present KJV editions. You make God responsible for printing "my LORD" at Zechariah 6:4 instead of "my lord" as in present KJV editions. You make God responsible for printing "ye shall not eat the blood of no manner of flesh" at Leviticus 17:14 instead of "ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh" in present KJV editions. Your statement makes God responsible for omitting the words "of the LORD" after the word "temple" at 2 Kings 11:10 in the 1611 edition.

Why do you now accept over 2,000 changes to the 1611 edition when you claim that God was in control over its printing in 1611?

If you side with the naysayers, go ahead.

Lotta fake news out there.

King Henry VIII did not license the printing of the 1611 KJV. King Henry VIII licensed in 1537 a printing of a revision of the 1535 Coverdale's Bible. This 1537 Bible stated on its title page: "Set forth with the King's most gracious license." In 1537, King Henry VIII also licensed the printing of the 1537 Matthew's Bible.

The 1539 Great Bible is the first authorized version in English.
