JARGEN See also: canon of See also: Viborg See also: cathedral, and consequently, in all probability, See also: born (c

1499) out of wedlock, as his Catholic opponents frequently took care to remind him
.
He himself never used the name Sadolinus, which seems to have been invented subsequently by his son Hans, and points to the fact that the See also: family were originally saddle-makers
.
We first hear of him on the 1st of See also: December 1525, when See also: Frederick I. permitted him to See also: settle at Viborg to teach See also: young persons of the poorer classes " whatever might be profitable." On this occasion he is described as " magister " and no doubt got his degree abroad, where he seems to have been won for the See also: Reformation
.
He sided with Hans See also: Tausen when the latter first began to preach the gospel at Viborg, and Tausen, though himself only in See also: priest's orders, shortly before he See also: left the place, ordained See also: Sadolin (1529)
.
Amongst " the See also: free priests " who attended the herredag of See also: Copenhagen in 1530 Sadolin occupied a prominent place
.
Frederick subsequently transferred him to Funen, where he acted, according to his own expression, as " adjutor in verbo " to Knud
Gyldenstjerne, See also: bishop of See also: Odense
.
At the diocesan council held on the 27th of May 1532, during the See also: absence of the bishop, he presented to the assembled priests a See also: translation of See also: Luther's catechism, with Luther's name omitted, preceded by an earnest plea in favour of a better See also: system of See also: education and a more See also: practical application of the Christian See also: life, which occupies a conspicuous place in the literature of the Danish Reformation
.
In the following See also: year Sadolin published the first Danish translation of the Confession of Augsburg
.
He disappears during the troublous times of " C'-revens Fejde " (1533-1536), though we get a glimpse of him at the end of 1536 as one of the preachers at Vor Frue See also: Kirke, the See also: principal See also: church of Copenhagen
.
On the 2nd of
See also: September 1537 he was consecrated by the See also: German reformer, Johann See also: Bugenhagen, who himself only had priest's orders, See also: superintendent, or first evangelical bishop, of Funen
.
As bishop he was remarkable for the success with which he provided the necessary means for the support of churches, See also: schools and hospitals in his widespread diocese, which had been deprived of its usual See also: sources of income by the wholesale confiscation of church See also: property
.
Towards the Catholics he adopted a See also: firm, but moderate and reasonable, See also: tone, and his indulgence towards the monks in St Knud's cloister See also: drew down upon him a fierce attack from the Puritan clergyman of Odense, who absurdly accused him of being a crypto-Catholic
.
He gave the funeral oration over Christian III. in St See also: John's Church at Odense in
See also: February 1559, though now very infirm and See also: blind, and died at the end of the same year
