In 1569 he also joined the Polish royal chancery and as a secretary served two kings, Zygmunt August and Stefan Batory, and was successively appointed bishop of Kamieniec Podolski (1586), Che m (1590), Przemy l (1591), and Pozna (1601). Go licki was a man of affairs, highly esteemed by contemporaries, and frequently engaged in active politics. He was also a staunch advocate of religious tolerance in Poland.

He was the only prelate who, in 1587, acceded to the Warsaw Confederation.
