VOET, JOHN, the grandson of this theologian, was born at Utrecht on the 3d of October 1647. His father, Paul Voet, who was born at Heusden on the 7th of June 1615, became successively professor of logic and metaphysics, the Greek language, and the civil law, in the university of Utrecht, and died in that city on the first of August 1677. He was likewise the author of various works. His son was appointed professor of law at Herborn, and afterwards at Utrecht, and was finally removed to Leyden, where he died on the 11th of September 1714. We subjoin a list of his principal publications. De Jure Militari liber singularis. Ultraj. 1670, 8vo. De Familia Eriscunda liber singularis. Ultraj. 1672, 8vo. Compendium Juris juxta systemum Pandectarum. Lugd. Bat. 1693, 4to. Commentarius ad Pandectas. Lugd. Bat. 1698, Hagæ Com. 1701, 2 tom. fol. This last is an elaborate, and upon the whole an able work; nor has it yet lost its high forensic, as well as academical reputation.
