Lipski chose an ecclesiastical career. He held several important posts at the court of Polish king Zygmunt III Waza and his wife Constance of Austria, later at the court of Władysław IV Waza.
In 1636, Lipski was ordained as bishop of Chełmno in Poland.[1] In 1638, Lipski became an archbishop of Gniezno in Poland.[1]
In 1637, Lipski was sent by king Władysław to Vienna to escort his future wife, Cecylia Renata. At that time Emperor Ferdinand of the Holy Roman Empire gave him the title of count.
On May 13, 1641, Lipski died in his palace in Łyszkowice; it was rumored that he was poisoned by the Protestants.[1]
