He became his classmate and moved with him on April 26, 1561 the University of Wittenberg . There he acquired, under the deanery of Hieronymus Osius, the academic degree of a master’s degree on August 10, 1563 . Following his studies he got a job at the cathedral chapter in Verden (Aller) and tried to make himself popular with Bishop Georg von Braunschweig-Lüneburg .

He gained such a reputation through his actions that he won the hand of the widow of Canon Jost von Münchhausen and soon became dean of the collegiate monastery at St. Andrew's Church. Most recently he was the councilor of Bishop Philipp Sigismund of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel . He wrote a chronicle of the Diocese of Verden ( Historiam Episcoporum Verdensium ), which served as a template for a continuation by his great-grandson Justus Kelp . He also appeared as a poet, whose German thought verses appeared in Andreas Mandelsloh's "Spangenberg Chronicle".
