Pietistic work

In 1699 he was sentenced in the great pietist trial of the Grand Council in Bern for the dissemination of forbidden literature, including by Christian Hoburg , and for his external contacts, but was left in office. He represented during the inspection of the Lausanne Academy in 1719 in the disputed points of the Formula Consensus and the Bernese Association oath a conciliatory stance and edited with Auguste de Trey (1683-1756), the first, especially for the Church of Vaud certain liturgy of 1725, and was presumably the author of the French edition of the Bern Synod of 1732.
