Gustaf. Who says so? Sommar. Our canonicus here. Gustaf. Your schoolmaster? Where is he? Oh, is it you? What's your name? Olof. Olof Pedersson. Gustaf. Master Olof! They tell the you are a heretic, and that you are scheming against Holy Church! That's a perilous venture! Brask. This very day he has dropped his mask by daring to show open defiance of the Chapter's prohibition against services, and for that reason we demand that Your Highness consent to have him duly punished. Gustaf. That's a matter for the Chapter and does not concern me. (To Olof.) But what was that you had to say about a rebellion at Stockholm? Olof. The Anabaptists! Gustaf. Is that all? Brask. Does not Your Highness know how those madmen have been carrying on in Germany? We suggest that Your Highness return to the city in person with your armed force. |
