Excerpt from The Life and Character of Erasmus
The same may be said of the intercourse of Erasmus with the dear friend of Dean Colet, Sir Thomas More, and with his predecessor in the chancellorship, Cardinal Wolsey, and Archbishop Warham, and their royal master, Henry the Eighth. If Europe had not then possessed a common language for learned men, it is probable that some of the best friendships would never have been formed, and the light of pure and primitive Christianity would not have been rekindled, and dif fused so rapidly throughout the world.
