Excerpt from The History of the Reformation in Sweden In the twelfth century, for the first time, the Swedish church was brought into a close agreement with the general institutions of the Western church; and from being a mis sionary field, became a complete member of the ecclesiastical communion of Western Europe. This condition of things i: was perfected, and the structure completed, in 1248; through the decree of a council held in Sheming, the clerical celibacy was brought into practice in Swede the whole legislation of the Roman church was more widely recognized and considered as a pattern. To present to the reader a clear picture of the church whose emendation was the work and honor of the sixteenth century, it is necessary, even in this general outline, to explain her condition anterior to the commencement of the Reformation. The present Sweden contains within its borders the two cities which, during the middle ages, from the twelfth century, were cen tres, the one, Upsala, for the church of Sweden, and the other, Lund, for the church of Denmark. A picture of the church's outward condition must present the two metropoli tan sees; and also the episcopal sees which were subject to Upsala, and embraced in that ecclesiastical province.
