Cherish forest had been schoolmaster in Pfäfers monastery and took as Ulrich Zwingli's followers participated in the First Zurich Disputation. In addition, he wrote a report titled act of the Assembly in the loblichen stat Zurich auff the 24th day Jeners 1523, because of that Gospel. This was printed in the same year more than once.

On Friday after Epiphany 1524 appeared in Wittenberg a broadsheet by Hege forest with the song " Have mercy mine, O Lord God, in your great mercy", a paraphrase of Psalm 51 Miserere mei dominus. The song was included in the Erfurt Enchiridion and in other hymnals.
