Maurice of Saxony's activity during the Second Schmalkaldic War prevented them from doing so. From Leipzig, Sarcerius was appointed superintendent to Mansfeld, where he worked as a visitator and organizer. He laid the groundwork for this in his writing Form und Weise einer Visitation für die Graf - und Herrschaft Mansfeld (Form and Manner of a Visitation for the County and Lordship of Mansfeld) in 1554. 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. 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. Sarcerius is also credited with being the first systematic theology in the United Kingdom, with an English translation by Richard Taverner of "The Common Places" by Sarcerius in 1538. The accomplishment is notable, due to no works like that of Sarcerius being published in his native German at the time. The translation, a dedication to Henry VIII, was ordered by the then-chief minister Thomas Cromwell, only a couple of years before his execution. Family Eramus, with his wife Christine, had a son Wilhelm, who held a preaching position at St. Andrew's Church, as well as daughters: Juliana, Magdalene, and Judith. His wife gave birth to a total of 11 children, many of whom died in infancy. 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. Wilhelm later enrolled in the Bavarian Hohe Schule in 1554. In 1556, Wilhelm began as a court preacher at Eisleben with fellow Lutheran Hans Georg von Vorderort after being accused of Flacian error. He also accepted a position of preacher in the St Andreas church in 1560. A year prior, Erasmus had passed away from kidney stones. In 1568 he became a pastor at St. Peter's church. He died in 1582 in Altkirchen after being appointed superintendent of Styne
