From here he went via Petersburg to Sweden, Denmark and England. As the leader of a group of young nobles, his travels took him to Paris, Toul, Bologna, Siena and Rome. When he had finished his trip to Italy, he went to the University of Leuven , where he obtained the degree of licentiate in law and devoted himself to the study of theology.

After he had eagerly studied the languages ​​in Leuven, he went to the University of Ingolstadt , where he received a licentiate in theology in 1562 and a doctorate in theology in 1563 . Thereupon he was appointed head of the seminary Collegium Willibaldinum by the bishop of Eichstätt Martin von Schaumberg (see also the von Schaumberg family ) in 1564 , where he became a cathedral preacher . In 1570 the University of Ingolstadt appointed him professor of theology. As such he taught the entire spectrum of the same at the time and gave lectures on dogmatics, exegesis and morality. He combined these lectures with the presidency of the Georgianium seminary. In 1577 he was called to Callenberg by Erich II of Braunschweig , who had converted to Catholicism, in order to eliminate Protestantism, but this failed.
