May 22, 1690, Frank­furt am Main, Ger­ma­ny.

After stu­dying at Tübingen (where he be­came a li­cen­ti­ate in ci­vil and can­on law), Schütz began to prac­tice law in Frank­furt, and in later years with the title of Rath. He seems to have been a man of con­sid­er­a­ble le­gal learn­ing and pi­ety. He left the Lu­ther­an church sometime af­ter 1685. His works in­clude:

  1. Die Woll­ust dies­er Welt
  2. Scheuet ihr, ihr mat­ten Glied­er
  3. Sei Lob und Ehr dem höchs­ten Gut
  4. So komm, ge­lieb­te Tod­es-Stand
  5. Was mich auf dies­er Welt be­trübt
