He drew up elaborate instructions for the tutors and governesses of the Electoral Prince Charles and Princess Elizabeth Charlotte. One of the former was Ezechiel Spanheim, who had accompanied his father, a rigid Calvinist, when the latter had been summoned to Leyden by Elizabeth and the States-General. Ezechiel was himself called from Geneva in 1656 to Heidelberg, where he afterwards passed from theology to diplomacy. It was in the Brandenburg service, which he had entered in 1680, that he was accredited to the English Court, of which he wrote an Account (1706). He was buried in Westminster Abbey.
