The canonist still studied at Oxford or Cambridge, but his career was increasingly clerical, and the Church, unlike the State, was unable to nationalise itself, though the whole career of Wycliffe and the strenuous efforts of the kings and statesmen who passed the statutes of Provisors and Praemunire, showed that some of the English clergy, and many of the English laity, were willing to make the effort.
Ashley says that 'the prohibition of usury was clearly the centre of the canonist doctrine. Roscher expresses the same opinion in practically the same words; and Endemann sees the whole economic development of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance as the victorious destruction of the usury law by the exigencies of real life.
Dominicus Soto, a very famous canonist and theologian, confessor to Charles V, present at the first meetings of the Council of Trent under Paul III, propounds a question about a man who had lost a paper on which he had written down his sins.
I am a vile canonist, replied Yorick but of all evils, holding suspence to be the most tormenting, we shall at least know the worst of this matter. I hate these great dinners said my father The size of the dinner is not the point, answered Yorick we want, Mr.
Roscher draws particular attention to the fact that the canonist teaching assigned the correct proportions in production to land, capital, and labour, in contrast to all the later schools of economists, who have exaggerated the importance of one or the other of these factors.

Stephen of Tournai, a canonist of the twelfth century, recognizes the two powers; but he only knows one society, under one king. That society is the Church: that king is Christ.
In the first place, as we said above, a proper understanding of the earlier periods of the development of a body of knowledge is indispensable for a full appreciation of the later. Even if the canonist system were not worth studying for its own sake, it would be deserving of attention on account of the light it throws on the development of later economic doctrine.
Last night, but for Heaven's mercy, I should have fallen a victim to a hireling's dagger, Knew you aught of this?" And he turned so sharply on the Bishop, that the poor canonist nearly dropped from his horse in surprise and terror. "I, " said he. Rienzi smiled "No, good my Lord Bishop! I see you are of no murtherer's mould.
He met many other well-known priests from time to time, and took counsel with them, but did not have time to become very intimate with any of them, so great were the demands upon his services. In this manner he met John Colleton, the canonist, who had returned from his banishment in '87, but found him a little dull and melancholy, though his devotion was beyond praise.
