Johannes a Marck

Johannes a Marck also: Johann le, van der, Marckius; (Born January 10, 1656 in Sneek ; † January 30, 1731 in Leiden ) was a Dutch Reformed theologian and church historian.

Life

Johannes a Marck was the son of the Rector of the Latin School in Sneek Willem a Marck and his wife Margaretha Cloppenburg († July 27, 1652). He had lost his mother to a plague death as a toddler. His ancestors came from Amsterdam, among others, where his grandfather, the professor of theology at the University of Franeker Johannes Cloppenburg (1592-1652) and his second wife Elisabeth Wessels (also Bessels; † July 30, 1652 in Franeker) came from. In memory of this grandfather, he was named Johannes when he was baptized. After his mother's death, he was raised by his paternal grandmother, Barbara Arnoldi, and attended the Latin school in Sneek from the age of six. Here he laid the foundations in rhetoric, poetics, logic, the Greek and Latin languages.

After the death of his father, he enrolled at the age of fourteen on February 10, 1670 at the University of Franeker , where he initially studied philosophical studies with Johannes Wubbena (-1678), the oriental languages ​​with Johann Gerhard Terentius (-1677) and the lectures of Nicolaus Blacardus (1625–1703) visited. The success of these studies was shown two years later when he disputed the treatises de loco , de fontibus and other physical subjects. In the same year he began to attend the theological lectures of Nikolaus Arnoldus (1618–1680) and Balthasar Bekker . After he had defended the treatises Theses de sacramentis, de peccato in Spiritum sanctum and de vita aeterna , he moved to the University of Leiden on September 19, 1673 . Here he wanted above all to attend the lectures of Christophorus Wittichius (1625–1687) on the federal theology of Johannes Coccejus and his lectures on the psalms.

He also took part in the Hebrew lectures given by Allardus Uchtmannus (1611–1680), the lectures on Semitic languages ​​given by Jacobus Trigland the Younger , and attended the theological lectures given by Abraham Heidanus , Antonius Hulsius and Friedrich Spanheim . He had received numerous homiletric suggestions from the pastors of Leiden, Staveren and Knibbe. He was defended after the treatises theses de pane ἐπιουσίῳ and de locis conventuum aet. Apostolica , appointed pastor to Midlum in 1675 . For this purpose he had passed his theological exam in Franeker on April 13, 1675, accepted his vocation on the 23rd of the same month and was appointed pastor on May 9th. He gave his inaugural sermon four days later. Hermann Witsius advised him to acquire the academic degrees for a further career. He then passed the necessary exams in Franeker from June 21st to 25th.

On June 28th he received his doctorate with the paper Disput. Ad selectas quasdam positiones philosophicas for Master of Philosophy and a day later with the treatise Disp. de vero sensu loci Ezech. XX, 25 (Franeker 1675) as Doctor of Theology. A year later he was offered a professorship in theology at the University of Franeker for 500 guilders on July 10, 1675, which he accepted and gave his inaugural speech de augmento scientiae theologicae on September 15, 1676 . In this capacity, he treated dogmatics according to the principles of Samuel Maresius , dealt with the teachings of Jacobus Arminius , the letters to the Romans and Galatians, but also with church history based on Spanheim's model. During his time in Franeker there was a written dispute with the Jesuit Jean Crasset. Johannes a Marck had already received an appointment to the University of Groningen in 1680 , which he had refused. However, when the influence of the followers of René Descartes and Coccejus had increased, he switched to the chair in Groningen in 1682.

On June 1, 1682 he had given his farewell speech Oratio de ficta Constantini donatione nam hij in Franeker and took over the chair of Samuel Maresius in Groningen on June 20 of the same year with the inaugural speech De sopiendis in ecclesia litibus . After 1683 he also took over the lectures in church history at the Groningen University, was rector of the University of Groningen in 1688/89 and rose to professor primarus. On October 17, 1689, the curators of the University of Leiden appointed him professor of theology, which office he took on on December 5, 1689 with the speech de debita sacrarum Scripturarum veneratione and took over a pastorate in Leiden. After the death of Spanheim, he also became professor of church history on December 24, 1701, which chair he took up on January 8, 1702 with the speech de Christianismi propagati admirandis . He also took part in the organizational tasks of the Leiden University and was rector of the Alma Mater in 1695/96 and 1712/13 .

Johannes a Marck was married twice. His first marriage was in early 1677 with Helena Burkholt († May 30, 1686), the daughter of the lawyer Johannes Burkholt and his wife Helena a Loninga, a stepdaughter of Heinrich Schotanus a Sterringa. There were six children from the marriage, of which only his daughter Helena Barbara a Marck (born June 6, 1685) survived, who married the lawyer D. Cornelius van Dorp. His second marriage was in 1688 with Catharina Ursinus († May 6, 1747 in Leiden), the daughter of the Rotterdam pastor Johannes Ursinus. Of the nine children in this marriage, only two survived. Johannes Wilhelm a Marck (born December 3, 1691) was pastor in Berkhout Assen, Delft and Gouda and Frederica Magarita a Marck married Nicolaus Plem.
