The Bishops in the 1630s would have tended to be of the overbearing kind, however I think that to make the same charge against the KJB Bishops (and the other charges against other translators and the King) to be false. There are modern "history books" of the King James Bible translators which are filled with half truths.
Here is an example:
Nicolson says that Miles Smith walked out of a sermon to go to the pub.
Someone researched this, and found that:
1. Nicolson has no citation to any source material
2. Nicolson personally cannot remember or has misplaced his source material
3. That there were several people called Miles Smith, including a preacher in Gloucester
