At the end of 1525 he was ordained a deacon and was then a parish priest in Frankfurt am Main , and Nausea took on the pastoral position at St. Bartholomew's monastery for this function . After arriving in the imperial city at the end of 1525, he was immediately confronted with bitter disputes between the old-believing camp of Catholics and Protestants; the Frankfurt guild uprising of April 1525 was only months ago. The City Council forbade him the pulpit and after assaults on his person but to flee to Mainz remained in March 1526.
