The chapters are divided into so-called parks that are linked to specific flowers such as pansies, roses, lilies, hyacinths and sunflowers. Devotional exercises are mainly described and tips are given on how to prepare, for example, to visit a place of prayer in honor of Mary.

He worked in the Antwerp printing house of Christoffel Plantin and established himself in Leiden in 1596 as an independent publisher-printer. He became catholic and settled in Leuven, where at the end of 1621 he was given a provisional appointment as official publisher-printer of the city and university. This became final in early 1622.
