Pacevicius Samuel

Pacevicius Samuel  was admitted, in the year 1638, among the alumni, who, with an exhibition granted out of the funds of the Church, pursued their theological studies at Kissielin; and he continued to study for the ministry at Luclavice in 1640, under the guidance of Schlichtingius. In 1641, the Synod of Piaski recommended him as tutor to the children of a certain Lady Palatine; but the year following he returned to Luclavice, to complete his theological studies under Schlichtingius and Baumgartus, and at the same time devoted four hours in every day to scholastic preparation, at which he was still toiling in 1644. In 1646, he was nominated Assistant Preacher to the Church collected in Samogitia; and in 1650, it being resolved, by the Synod, that he should be ordained to the ministry, he was appointed Pastor of the Church of Dobrzyn. In 1651, he was sent as Minister to Tauroggen, a district in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, bordering upon Prussia, and subject to the Elector's sway; and it is said, that his ordination at length took place in that year. In 1662, he was directed by the Synod to fix his habitation on the confines of Prussia, and take charge of the Polish exiles.
