what I wanted him to do. Now we shall need stone-masons who

Constable. The people will think you are taking away their faith.

Gustaf. We'll send Master Olof to preach to them.

Constable. Master Olof is a dangerous man.

Gustaf. But needed just now.

Constable. He has carried on like the Anabaptists instead of
opposing them.

Gustaf. I know. We'll get to that later on. Send him in.

Constable. Lars the Chancellor would be a better man.

Gustaf. Bring them both in.

Constable. Or Olof's brother, Lars Pedersson.

Gustaf. No good yet. He is too soft for fighting, but
his time will come, too. [Exit Constable.]

The Constable returns with Master Olof and Lars Andersson.
