Life
Baudaert was born in Deinze in Flanders to the Protestant parents Willem Baudaert and Maria Zach-Mortel . After the Catholic Duke of Alba invaded the Netherlands, they were expelled because of their religious affiliation and fled to Sandwich in England . He studied in Canterbury and returned to Deinze after the Ghent pacification in 1576.

He was a preacher in Kampen (1593), Lisse (1596) and Zutphen (1597).
Was Baudaert as Contraremonstrant a follower of the Calvinist religion. At the Dordrecht Synod in 1618 he was commissioned to co- author the Dutch translation of the Bible (" Statenbijbel ") , which was to be organized on behalf of the States General . To promote this translation, published in 1637, he lived in the city of Leiden for a long time.
