I WILL GIVE YOU BRAINLEST IF YOU ANSWER THIS CORRECTLY!!! What changes does Erasmus want?:
"The world is waking out of a long deep sleep. The old ignorance is still de-
fended. Time was when learning was only found in religious orders. The religious
order nowadays care only for money and sensuality [indulgence of the appetites],
while learning has passed to secular princes and peers and courtiers. Where in
school or monastery will you find so many distinguished and accomplished men as
form your English Court? Shame on us all! The tables of priests and divines run
with wine and echo with drunken noise and scurrilous jest, while in princes’ halls is
heard only the grave and modest conversation on points of morals or knowledge...
That king of yours [Henry VIII of England] may bring back the golden age. Though I
shall not live to enjoy it, as my tales draws to an end."
