He was born at Metz, France in 1568. His father was from Ghent, but had gone into exile in Lorraine where he was a Protestant pastor. The family then moved to Heidelberg.
He studied at Heidelberg under Franciscus Junius, graduating M. A. in 1589; and then for a doctorate in Geneva in 1590, under Theodore Beza.
He became French preacher at Dort in 1591, and afterwards succeeded Franz Gomarus as professor of theology at Leiden.
He was invited by the States General of Holland to revise the Dutch translation of the Bible, and it was he who edited the canons of the synod of Dort (1618 - 1619). His many published works include Responsio ad sophismata A. Cocheletii doctoris surbonnistae (1610), Dispute contre Vadoration des reliques des Saincts trespassis (1611), Explicatio somae prophetae (1625).
