S. M. Rademaker ) (1967).〕 A disciple of Jacobus Arminius, his theological beliefs came into question in 1605.〔''The works of James Arminius, D. D., formerly professor of divinity in the University of Leyden'' vol. 1 (1825), p. 264, footnote; (Google Books ).〕 In one of the early Leiden debates involving Arminius, he responded to Johannes Kuchlinus.〔Keith D. Stanglin, ''Arminius on the Assurance of Salvation: the context, roots, and shape of the Leiden debate, 1603-1609'' (2007), p. 123; (Google Books ).〕 Narssius was a subscriber to the ''Confessio orthodoxa'' of Conrad Vorstius, successor to Arminius at Leiden, and was strongly reprimanded for that by the Synod of Harderwijk.〔 He was pastor at Grave and then Zaltbommel, but lost his posts because of his combative Remonstrant approach.〔 He reportedly travelled to England to present Arminian documents to Archbishop George Abbot, meeting a very hostile reception.〔James Nichols citing Gerard Brandt's ''History of the Reformation'', ''Calvinism and Arminianism Compared in their Principles and Tendency'' (1824), p. clvii; (archive.org ).〕 After the general exile of Remonstrants from the Netherland he was at the Arminian colony of Friedrichstadt in Holstein.〔Johann Lorenz Mosheim, ''Institutes of Ecclesiastical History: ancient and modern'' (1832 translation by James Murdock), p. 507; (Google Books ).〕 He spent time in Poland, and Sweden, where he was court poet.〔Kenneth E. Hall, ''Stonewall Jackson and Religious Faith in Military Command'' (2005), p. 87; (Google Books ).〕 In Riga he knew Rütger Hemsing (1604–1643), another physician-poet, and an associate of Galileo.〔 Gero von Wilpert, ''Deutschbaltische Literaturgeschichte'' (2005), p. 79; (Google Books ).〕 He corresponded with Ole Worm on archaeology.〔Bjarne Stoklund, ''Ethnologia Europaea'', Volume 33 (2001), p. 17; (Google Books ).〕 Under the name Hans van der Ast he took letters from Frederick V, Elector Palatine in Germany to his wife Elizabeth of Bohemia, who was in The Hague.〔Nadine Akkerman, ''The Letters of Elizabeth Stuart, Queen of Bohemia'', Volume II (2011), pp. 39–40 note 6; (Google Books ).〕 Returning to the Netherlands, he took a position with the Dutch East India Company.
