He was born in Lüneburg and was related to the musical theorist Joachim Burmeister. After studying theology at Rostock University, in July 1600 he was crowned an Imperial Poet Laureate of the Holy Roman Empire. He spent the next 25 years as pastor of the village of Gülzow. During that time he composed nearly all his works, some of which enjoyed the patronage of the Estorff family. In 1635 he became Provost of Uelzen, where three years later he died and was buried.
