Johannes Hoornbeeck, Dutch Puritan (November 4, 1617 -- September 1, 1666) was an intellectual and spiritual giant of the Dutch Nadere Reformatie of the Voetian school. He wrote numerous works chiefly in Latin before he died at the age of 48, promoting Sabbath-keeping, Psalmody, missions and against many other errors of his day. Along with Gisbertus Voetius, he wrote a wonderful little book which has been republished by the Dutch Reformed Translation Society: Spiritual Desertion. Bios of Hoornbeeck can be found in Meet the Puritans ed. by Joel Beeke and Randall Pederson, and in the New Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge, Vol. V.
