Editing John Colet (section)

==Sermons==
Colet had many distinguished sermons. One is the beginning of the Convocation of the clergy of [[Canterbury]] province at St Paul's Cathedral on 6 February 1512. [[William Warham|Archbishop Warham of Canterbury]] invited Colet to make the speech. Colet's speech is both direct and insightful. It represents his work, or as Colet said himself, he is "speaking out of zeal, a man sorrowing for the ruin of the Church". Furthermore, Colet stated that he came "…here today, fathers, to admonish you with all your minds to deliberate, in this your Council, concerning the reformation of the Church". The [[Convocation|Convocation sermon]] is one of the most well known of his sermons. In addition, Colet gave a notable sermon before the royal court on [[Good Friday|Good Friday, 1513]]. He gave this speech in the wake of political tension; specifically, an English push for war against France. In his speech, Colet condemned war and prompted Christians to fight only for Jesus Christ.
