Excerpt from The Lives of Jehan Vitrier: Warden of the Franciscan Convent at St. Omer, and John Colet, Dean of St. Paul's, London, Written in Latin, by Erasmus of Rotterdam, in a Letter to Justus Jonas
One of the two pieces thus commended was the biogra phical sketch of Dean Colet, which fills the latter half of the letter of Erasmus here translated. The other was a much shorter extract, taken from the Ecclesiastes, in which Erasmus portrays the character of Archbishop Warham. This too has been added as an appendix. Though the only excuse for introducing it is a single mention of Warham in the text, the reader may pardon its insertion, if only as a relief to the inadequate appreciation Of such a man observable in Froude.
