206 V. THE REFORMATION (A.D. 15201592).
The Germans of Stockholm complained that so little
progress was made in reformation, but it was too fast for
many parts of the country. The result of the rising in
West Gothland was that two more of the adherents of the
old order, Ture Jonsson and Magnus Haraldi, Bishop of
Skara, left the country, and did not return to it. The
bishop s place was filled by the provost, Sveno Jacobi,
whose election was confirmed by a council at Upsala in
1530. The see of Linkoping was filled two years after
Brask s retirement by a Johannes Magni, and that of old
Ingemar of Vexio, who died in 1530, by Johannes Boethii.
Shortly afterwards the king agreed, after some reluctance,
knowing how much mischief former archbishops had done,
that the see of Upsala should at last be filled. He set aside
the rights of the chapter, and held a large assembly of the
clergy of the whole realm at Stockholm in 1531, of whom
about 171 took part in the election of an archbishop. As
many as 150 votes were given in favour of Laurentius
Petri, brother of the reformer, and thus Sweden was, by
God s providence, provided with its first reformed arch
bishop, who, wisely and faithfully, directed the course of
the Church for the next forty-two years. The three first-
named bishops were first consecrated at Stockholm the
1
3th August, 1531, and the new archbishop on the 22nd
September of the same year. The consecration in both
cases was performed by Petrus Magni and Magnus Som-
mar, who, however, met in Strengnas on the loth August,
and compiled a protest against the Lutheran doctrine, the
consecration of the new bishops, which they were forced to
gin., Lund., 1889) that this refers only to the use of chrism in
baptism to cross the child s forehead and breast, and does not
as Staaff, I think, rightly concludes include confirmation.
It may be remarked also that the unction with chrism made by
the priest after baptism, was not on the forehead and breast,
but on the crown of the head "
Hie jac crucem cum crismate
in vertice infantis dicens :
Ipse te liniat,
"
etc., are the words of
the Skara ritual of 1493 ; and so Olaus gor than itt kors pa thes
hiessa medh chrismo och segher, etc.
