was authored in Copenhagen by the Church's chancery in consultation with university professors. The new draft was approved by the king in 1607. Besides his proposal for the new church ordinance, not much is known about Dall's time as bishop. It is known that he served as a canon judge at the Lund Cathedral in Sweden for some time. In addition, he was involved in disputes over property lines in Aker in 1602 and again in 1606. He also advanced a plan to improve the Oslo school system by imposing a new tax on all commercial farms, but the proposal was never implemented. Dall died in office on 18 April 1607, in his mid-50s. Personal life Dall was married to Anne Pedersdatter, who died in 1626. In 1603, he and his wife donated a silver chalice to St. Hallvard's Cathedral. The cathedral has since fallen into ruin, and the chalice was transferred to the Oslo Cathedral.
