Of especial interest are his tracts, Der Trostbrief, and the epistle Aen myne liefte broeders en susters tot Sustern. He was a determined opponent of infant baptism. In 1531 he preached in Wassenberg, Coesfeld, Aachen, and Maastricht. Against him and Campanus was issued the edict of the government of Düsseldorf of 1 November 1532. Invited by Bernhard Rothmann by letter, he betook himself to Münster (1534) and was baptized there.
