.
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 See also: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 See also: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 See also:gospel at Viborg, and Tausen, though himself only in See also:priest's orders, shortly before he See also:left the See also:place, ordained See also:Sadolin (1529)

In the following See also:year Sadolin published the first Danish translation of the See also:Confession of See also: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:
Towards the Catholics he adopted a See also:firm, but moderate and reasonable, See also:tone, and his See also:indulgence towards the monks in St Knud's See also: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
