Henry died in 1612 before he could succeed his father.

The True Law and Basilikon Doron are texts from James's Scottish period, and their immediate context was his struggle with the kirk and the Scottish nobility, a struggle in which James emerged as victor, so that by the time of his accession to the English throne, James ruled in Scotland with little opposition from nobles or churchmen.
