In 1610, he was deposed from his office on account of the "disgraceful and seducing art of [[Medicine|alchemy]]" and laxity in performing his duty. He was then admitted as householder at Pellertitz, but because of his offensive attitude he was expelled on 16 July 1612. He died at Pribitz on 1 April 1616.
