The greatest intolerance was exercised towards the Catholics who had remained in the Free Imperial City; their schools were dissolved; parents were compelled to send their children to Lutheran institutions; it was even forbidden to hear Mass outside the city under severe penalties.
Suurimat sallimatust teostati katoliiklaste peal, kes olid jäänud vabasse riigilinna; nende koolid saadeti laiali; vanemaid sunniti saatma oma lapsi luterlikesse asutustesse; range karistuse ähvardusel oli missa kuulamine isegi väljaspool linna keelatud.
