After the death of his humanist teacher, Petrus Mosellanus, he moved to Wittenberg in 1524 and worked with fellow Lutheran reformers Martin Luther and Philipp Melanchthon.

[3] In his liturgical career, Sarcerius published copies of his sermons, and wrote Lutheran catechisms, such as his dogmatic treatise Methodus divinae scripturae locos praecipuos explicans (A method of explaining the main passages of the divine scriptures) in 1539.

As a theologian with very strict Lutheran beliefs, he did not have an easy time conducting work due to the resistance of Georg Major's supporters, who had theological differences with Sarcerius.

The popular attitude of the community eventually alienated Sarcerius completely from his former teacher Melanchthon, whom he later encountered once more at the Colloquy of Worms in 1557, which he attended with Erhard Schnepf, Victorinus Strigel, Johann Stössel, and one of the Mörlins by order of the dukes of Saxony.

[2] Sarcerius was praised by his contemporaries as a pious and theologically well-read man who took a stand on disputes between Protestant divisions, although he was heavily influenced by the thinking of Martin Luther.

The translation, a dedication to Henry VIII, was ordered by the then-chief minister Thomas Cromwell, only a couple of years before his execution.

[3] Eramus, with his wife Christine, had a son Wilhelm, who held a preaching position at St. Andrew's Church,[6] as well as daughters: Juliana, Magdalene, and Judith.

They stayed in Siegen until 1549, until Wilhelm, Christine, and Juliana left Seigen for Leipzig to meet with their father in 1549 after religious persecution.

In 1556, Wilhelm began as a court preacher at Eisleben with fellow Lutheran Hans Georg von Vorderort after being accused of Flacian error.

Surely it is an extreme madness a man to vex his mind with unremunerative questions concerning predestination, whereas he may comfort himself with the promise of grace... to desire & receive mercy offered by the Gospel, to endure in faith to the final end.
