 He was "praised enthusiastically by indisputably orthodox divines at Heidelberg and Arnhem as worthy of the post".He was nominated for the divinity chair there by moderate members of the Remonstrant party who approved of his support of public freedom of opinion ("having defended the toleration of diverse opinions in his book against Bellarmine") and thought that due to his orthodox background he would also be acceptable to some of the Contra-Remonstrants.In 1610 he reprinted "Disputationes decem de natura et attributis Dei" (Steinfurt, 1602) as "Tractatus theologicus de Deo sive de natura et attributis Dei".
