The
Augustinian canons of Hexham, in Northumberland, seem to have warmed to him, mainly because, after Stirling Bridge, he issued them with a letter of protection.
(One misunderstanding: the
Augustinian Canons Regular, in which religious order Erasmus vowed, were not "monks.") The third part concerns his apologetics toward Catholic critics and Protestant reformers.
