  John Colet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Colet, (January 1467 – September 10, 1519), was an English churchman and educational pioneer.
Colet died of the "sweating sickness", and was buried on the south side of the choir of St Paul's, where a stone was laid over his grave, with no other inscription than his name.
Colet, though never dreaming of a formal breach with Roman Catholicism, was a keen reformer, who disapproved of auricular confession, and of clerical celibacy.

 John Colet
He was the eldest son of Sir Henry Colet, twice Lord Mayor of London.
Colet's lectures on the New Testament continued for five years, until in 1504 he was made Dean of St. Paul's proceeding D.D before he left Oxford.
It may well be that Colet, irritated by obvious abuses and not seeing how far the reaction would go, used language on certain points which in the light of after-events is regrettable, but there can be no doubt as to his own orthodoxy and devotion.

 John Colet, Heretic?
Was Colet, indeed, charged with heresy by his bishop, FitzJames, and precisely on this point, at least without simply ‘settling’ it by resorting to their preconceptions of the true nature of Colet's role in the sixteenth century ecclesiastical history of England.
According to Erasmus, Colet was charged with three named offenses: attacking the ‘worship’ of images; misinterpreting the meaning of Jesus's words ‘feed my sheep’ in John chapter 21; and denouncing the practice of some clerics who read their sermons.
If Erasmus's chronology is correct, the crunch between Colet and FitzJames came in the spring of 1513, Colet may have been suspended from preaching for a ‘brief’ time awaiting completion of whatever process was set in motion, and the matter was resolved by early autumn.

John Sleath, High Master from 1814 to 1838, declared that ‘at St.Paul’s we teach nothing but Latin and Greek’: but he said so not complacently but with ironical regret: he had tried and failed to get the governors to appoint a master to teach writing and arithmetic.

Far as Colet went in demanding a reform of clerical habits, welcoming the revival of letters, condemning the old scholastic disputation and advocating the study of the Scriptures, it is quite probable he would not have fallen in with the Reformation.

 English Bible History [Archive] - Discussion Forums US
One of Wycliffe’s followers, John Hus (http://www.greatsite.com/timeline-english-bible-history/john-hus.html), actively promoted Wycliffe’s ideas: that people should be permitted to read the Bible in their own language, and they should oppose the tyranny of the Roman church that threatened anyone possessing a non-Latin Bible with execution.
In 1496, John Colet (http://www.greatsite.com/timeline-english-bible-history/john-colet.html), another Oxford professor and the son of the Mayor of London, started reading the New Testament in Greek and translating it into English for his students at Oxford, and later for the public at Saint Paul’s Cathedral in London.
In considering the experiences of Linacre and Colet, the great scholar Erasmus (http://www.greatsite.com/timeline-english-bible-history/erasmus.html) was so moved to correct the corrupt Latin Vulgate, that in 1516, with the help of printer John Froben, he published a Greek-Latin Parallel New Testament.
