After having studied at Cracow and Padua, he entered the church, and was successively appointed bishop of Kaminietz and of Posen . Goslicki was an active man of business, was held in high estimation by his contemporaries and was frequently engaged in political affairs . It was chiefly through his influence, and through the letter he wrote to the pope against the Jesuits, that they were prevented from establishing their schools at Cracow . He was also a strenuous advocate of religious toleration in Poland . He died on the 31st of October 1607 . His principal work is De optimo senatore, &c . (Venice, 1568) . There are two English translations published respectively under the titles A commonwealth of good counsaile, &c . (1607), and The Accomplished Senacor, done into English by Mr Oldiswarth (1733) .
