wliich made liiiii, like Daniel, " a man greatly beloved." His pietv was tender, devout, and universally acknowl- edged by all who knew him. His preaching partook of these characteristics, and was always popular, but not strong or brilliant. He was judicious, solid, calm, and full of unction. His short career gave promise of use- fulness and of power, but was blighted by early death, and yet makes his memory very precious among the departed worthies of the Iteformed Church.

Schurmauu, Anna Mauia von, a prominent disci- ple and supporter of Labadie (q. v.), was born at Cologne. Nov. 5. 1G07, of Reformed parents. Persecution drove licr parents in 1610 to the district of Juliers, whence the family removed to Franeker, and, after the death of her father, to Utrecht. Anna IMaria was possessed of extraordinary intellectual qualities, which were fur- ther developed by careful training and instruction, so that she became familiarly acquainted with many an- cient and modern languages — the Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Italian, Spanish, Arabic, Syriac, and Coptic — and was able to write letters in them all; was a proficient in mathematics and history ; and was no less celebrated for her skill in the more ornamental branches of music, drawing, painting, carving, wax-work, and embroidery. Her attainments won for her the title of the Tenth Muse, the Celebrated Maid of Utrecht. The serious, pious temper, and the love for the word of God which she had manifested from her childhood, now gave way to vanit}' ; but the influence of Labadie, whom she en- countered when more than fifty years of age, led to a thorough conversion. She recalled all her writings, associated herself with Labadie in his home and life, defended him and his followers with her pen and sup- ported them with her purse. A peculiar mystical rela- tionship subsisted between her and Labadie, but no charge of improper conduct has ever been raised against her. After Labadie's death she retired to Wievert, in Friesland, where she died in 1678, after a protracted and painful illness. Her last work, entitled Eukleria and containing a review of her life, its tendencies and re- sults, was completed just before her end. See Gobel, Gesch. d. christl. Lebens, etc., p. 272-280, 783. — Herzog, Peal-Enn/Idop. s. v.
Schiit, CoiiNELius, a Flemish painter, was born at Antwerp in 1597. He was a pupil of Kubens; and when lie had linishcd his studies in 1619, he worked with great success in churches and convents. His best painting is. in the cupola of the Cathedral of Antwerp, and repre- sents the Assumjjtion of the Virgin; and the Martyr- dom of St. George in the museum of the same city shows his skill. Schut possessed a brilliant imagination and great facility of execution, which, in a large measure, compensated for his feebleness of design. He is con- sidered one of the best of Rubens's pupils. — Hoefer, Nour. Jiiog. Generale, s. v.
