In 1694 he was appointed to the council, in 1696 as alderman in the town hall on Dam Square. During the War of the Spanish Succession he was a deputy in the field. His job was to decode secret letters from abroad addressed to Anthonie Heinsius. Between 1709 and 1718 he was a sheriff, but was promoted to the Orphan Chamber and Treasury in 1719. Through his wife Maria de Bordes he became lord of Gunterstein and Tienhoven in 1711. Four or five generations – all named Ferdinand – would continue the tradition.
