With his appointment later the same year as rector of the Gymnasium in Magdeburg he gave another speech entitled "De vindicando huiusmodi contemtu". It is evident from these and from his subsequent writings and activities that he was fully engaged in the passionate sectarian disputes which were erupting across much of western Europe at the time.
