Hij was achtereenvolgens Nederlands gezant in Zweden en Frankrijk tussen 1668 en 1672. In het rampjaar 1672 keerde hij uit Frankrijk terug en was betrokken bij de mislukte onderhandelingen met Lodewijk XIV over de Nederlandse capitulatie. De daarop volgende opstand in Rotterdam noopte hem naar Antwerpen te vluchten. Hij keerde in 1674 terug, maar raakte zijdelings betrokken bij het hoogverraadproces van Abraham de Wicquefort in 1675. Hij werd zelf ook van hoogverraad beschuldigd vanwege zijn compromitterende correspondentie met De Wicquefort, maar dankzij de inspanningen van zijn advocaat Simon van Middelgeest vrijgesproken. Hij trok zich daarop terug op zijn landgoed Boekenrode bij Haarlem, waar hij in juni 1678 overleed" (nl.wikipedia.org).
