He was an orthodox Catholic and remained loyal to the Crown during the Eighty Years' War. In 1582 he was appointed a justice in the Great Council, the supreme law court of the Seventeen Provinces, which normally sat in Mechelen but due to the Dutch Revolt was then meeting in the city of Namur.

He received his doctorate on 27 August 1553. As usual in this era for academic scholars he Latinized his name to ''Peckius''. He was appointed to the new chair in introductory law (''Paratitles'') that Philip II of Spain endowed at the university in 1555. Was made ''ordinarius'' in Roman Law at the university in 1562.
