“I wilnot give my dogge that bred that some prestes doth minister at the Alter when thei be not in clene lyff.” (statement attributed to Elisabeth Sampson, 1509)How subversively anticlerical was late medieval Catholic reform in England? Were Elisabeth Sampson or perhaps John Wyclif the reformer or malcontent at hand, one might expect scholars rapidly to identify reform with subversion. But if John Colet's name is dropped in the conversation, “reform” will generally take on a different meaning. Son of one of London's most popular mayors, Colet was a pluralist who progressed along the familiar and painstakingly protracted route to the doctorate of theology during the final decade of the fifteenth and the first of the sixteenth century. Along the way he struck up close and lasting friendships with Erasmus, Thomas More, and William Warham. To the last of these, he probably owed his appointment in 1504 as Dean of St. Paul's Cathedral in London where he served until his death in 1519.

约翰·科莱的《圣事作品与教士反教权主义：“普通方式”的局限性》

“我不会把我的狗交给那些在圣坛任职的教士，当他们不在干净的地方时。” （伊丽莎白·桑普森的陈述，1509）英国中世纪晚期的天主教改革是多么具有颠覆性的反教权？如果伊丽莎白·桑普森（Elisabeth Sampson）或约翰·威克利夫（John Wyclif）是改革者或当前的不满者，人们可能会期望学者们很快将改革与颠覆等同起来。但如果约翰·科莱特的名字在谈话中被省略，“改革”通常会呈现出不同的含义。科莱特是伦敦最受欢迎的市长之一的儿子，他是一位多元主义者，在十五世纪最后十年和十六世纪初期，沿着熟悉的、艰苦而漫长的道路取得了神学博士学位。一路走来，他与伊拉斯谟、托马斯·莫尔和威廉·沃勒姆建立了密切而持久的友谊。由于其中最后一个原因，他可能在 1504 年被任命为伦敦圣保罗大教堂的院长，并一直任职到 1519 年去世。
