In Harderwijk, Johann Christoph Struchtmeyer had taught history, rhetoric and the Greek language, Bernard Sebastiaan Cremer (1683–1750) theology and Gerhardus ten Cate (1699–1749) theology, oriental languages and church history.

Here, on June 10th of the year of his appointment, the Senate of the university awarded him an honorary doctorate in theology and he took up his chair on June 18th with the speech de hominine peccatoris propter sola (...) Jesus Christ merita coram Deo justificatione, olim festo expiationis die in intimis tabernaculi Mosiaci aditis ab ipso Deo elegantissime depicta (Leiden 1765).
He also participated in the organizational tasks of the university and was rector of the alma mater in 1772/73 . He set this task with the speech De Paulo Apostolo. Perfecta doctoris Evangeli forma . On June 5, 1778 he became a member of the Society of Dutch Literature in Leiden. He dealt with dialects of the Greek and Dutch languages. In addition, the work Dictata in Canones Synodi Dordracenae (1778 and 1779) is known from him.
