He was born in January 1646. The exact date, however, is unknown. He came from a wealthy noble family from northern Mazovia, using the Świnka coat of arms. His family owned numerous lands in the Dobrzyń region and in Płock Province. He was the son of the castellan of Sierpc, Ludwik Zieliński (1619–1678) and his first wife, Helena née Zawadzka (1626–1648). He studied in Kraków, Ingolstadt, Paris and Rome. He obtained a doctorate in theology. He was ordained a priest in 1671.[2]
