There he came in contact with Protestants. Later he served for a Polish magnate Stanisław Tęczyński (important propagator of Reformation in Poland) as secretary and diplomat. Tęczyński sent him with many diplomatic missions abroad (e.g. to Turkey, Sweden, and Denmark). In 1564 he became famous because of his public “blasphemy” against the Catholic doctrine of Transubstantiation during the Corpus Christi procession in Lublin. He wrote numerous Polish-language verse forms (many were lost afterwards) based on biblical, social, and erotic motives. He died in poverty in his estate in Liśnik Duży.
