By the late 1660s, Vinding's friend Peder Schumacher was appointed as Assessor both to the State College and the Supreme Court. He used his influence with the King to get Vinding's draft approved, so Vinding by a secret order on March 11, 1669 was given the task of drafting the new body of laws, "Corpus juris Danici". By the end of 1669, Vinding put forth his suggestions, which was an updated version of his earlier "Codex Fredericus", but with a more systematic setup and fewer outdated or contradictory sections. The content of the text was mainly old laws coupled with new laws based on earlier verdicts (i.e. Common Law).
