Damas baptized a Thomas Thomasz at Monnikendam. He must also have been active in the province of Zeeland. According to Vos, the man called David van Hoorn in the Confession of Obbe Philips was actually Damas, "David" being merely a slip of the pen. If this is the case, Damas was one of the twelve apostles sent out by Jan Matthijsz van Haarlem to proclaim the imminent kingdom of God.
