At Lubeck and Rostock, 23 This hymn was also printed in the Weyrauchs Hug el (No.475» P- 54°) and Sauers Psalterspiel (No. 361). It is not known to a certainty how long the academicterm of young Falckner lasted at Halle. When he leftthat institution he was what wasknown as a Candidat Theologiaor a candidate for holy orders.

Froma document found in the library there, it is shown that hespent some time in the Duchy of Schleswig, and was aidedand befriended by a son and namesake of the noted pie-tistic theologian Dominie Heinrich
