He was the son of a Protestant clergyman, and also devoted himself to the ministry, and his talent as a preacher soon got him a widespread reputation. In the year 1663, while travelling, he was captured by Tartars, who reduced him to slavery. He died February 8, 1693, at Neusalza. His principal writings are, Currus Jehovae mirabilis (Wittenberg, 1678, 4to); and Turcico-Tartarica crudelitas (Buda, 1684, 4to), a touching account of his captivity.
