| | The Church of England and the Church of Sweden |
 | | Olaus Petri, its leader, his brother Laurentius Petri, the wise Archbishop, and Laurentius Andreas, were all Swedes, and their purpose was not to establish a foreign form of religion to be called Lutheranism, but to reform their own national Church. |
 | | Both the foremost men of the original movement, Olaus Petri and Laurentius Andreae, were tried and condemned to death on the charge of concealing their knowledge of a conspiracy, and barely escaped with their lives. |
 | | On the ecclesiastical side, it was the age of an intolerant orthodoxy, in which clergy suspected of Syncretism were persecuted; and the victory of the orthodox was sealed by the addition of the Formula Concordiae to the symbolical documents of the Swedish Church in the parliament of 1664. |
