For some time he continued his studies at the University of Leipzig and returned to Wittenberg , where he obtained the degree of master's degree on April 30, 1716 .

In the summer semester of 1716, as a Magister legens, he was given permission to read aloud for universities, worked as a private lecturer and, after a disputation chaired by Gottlieb Wernsdorf on the subject of De primordiis emendatae per Lutherum religionis, was habilitated as an adjunct at the philosophy faculty of the university in 1718 .
