After he returned to the Low Countries he was made a canon of the cathedral of Cambrai in 1630. In 1640 he was appointed archdeacon of Brabant and in 1651 bishop of Roermond. In 1657 he was appointed to the see of Mechelen. After his death in Brussels in 1666 he was buried in the choir of the St. Rumbolds Cathedral in Mechelen.
