Soon after this upon the Resignation of the Lord Brandon Gerard his Father King Charles created him Captain of his Life-Guard and admitted one of his Majesty's most Honourable Privy-Council In the Year 1672. the French King Lewis XIVth made great Preparations for a War against the Datch in which King Charles engaging the Duke was sent to Command the English whose Gallantry and Bravery was sufficiently admir'd by all present where was the French King himself He was attended by a numerous Train of English Volunteer Gentlemen With this vast Army the French sat down before Orsoy and Rhinberg which presently surrender'd From thence they march'd to Wisel accounted an Invincible City which after 4 Days Siege was deliver'd up also Duysbury surrender'd without venturing the Brunt of a Storm This Success of the Fren●h so terrify'd the Hollanders that they abandon'd their Towns as fast as the Enemy approach'd to take Possession of them nay and of some they invite them to be Masters for the City Vtrecht with the whole Province in which were Nine Fine Cities besides Vtrecht it self receiv'd a French Garrison Zutphen and Arnheim follow'd the same Fate and such a rapid Progress was made by the Arms of France that by the 28th of June they were advanc'd within 4 Leagues of Rotterdam and the same distance from Amsterdam Never was any State nearer Ruin than that of Holland at this time and where the Policy of England could be to assist them in such an Expedition has I believe been dearly experienc'd since for it was no small Assistance they receiv'd from the Succours under the D. of Monmouth which will more particularly appear in another Campaign for this being ended the Duke took his Leave of the French King who highly extoll'd his Conduct and Personal Bravery and passing through Flanders arriv'd safely in England and was joyfully receiv'd especially at Court but he was in solemn manner welcom'd home by his Dutchess who was soon after August 26●h happily brought to Bed of a Son which was Christened Charles and died soon after About November following having taken Leave of the King he set out again for France where he was received in a very splendid manner by the French King and the Nobility and being arriv'd at Calais Dec. 18 th he sent an Express to his Majesty to acquaint him that the Prince of Orange was on the 15th sat down with his Army before Char eroy and that there was great Expectation in those Parts what would be

the Issue of that Enterprize The Duke was highly welcom'd in all the Places through which he pass'd and return'd to England again before the opening of the Campaign at what time he attended the King of France into the Field and is remarkably distinguish'd in History for his Conduct and Valour at the Siege of Maestrich and came into England afterward with great Applause But the next Year the Scale turn'd and the Duke as General of his Father 's Forces commanded against the French in Conjunction with the Dutch always behaving himself with singular Conduct and Personal Bravery What happen'd otherwise concerning him is hardly Material He grew into Love and Favour with the People which appear'd in the Business of the Walisea Race for which he was taken into Custody he was also Banish'd but we shall pass over all these things and come nearer to the Design in hand which is the Business of the West in which we shall comprehend his Death King James IId being ascended the Throne and the Duke of Monmouth then abroad and being sufficiently stunn'd with the unexpected News of the Death of King Charles having enter'd into a League with the Earl of Argyle putting great Confidence in his own Courage and a vain Assurance of a Popular Affection and Assistance bore up himself against all pretended Difficulties and with three small Ships and between Threescore and Fourscore Men landed about the 12th of June at Lyme in the West of England while the Parliament was sitting A Romantick kind of Invasion and scarce parallel'd in History yet with this handful of Men and afterward with the common People that join'd him without Arms Provisions Martial Discipline Money or any one place to retire to in case of Accidents did this Brave unfortunate Man bid fair for a Crown He landed as was said before at Lyme in Dorsetshire where he increas'd his Number to One hundred and Fifty from thence he march'd to Taunton where he was Proclaim'd King and Men flock'd to him and Listed under him as fast as if he had already been Master of the whole Country After staying there a while he marched in some kind of Order to Bridgwater still increasing his Numbers from thence to Bath where he was denied Entrance the Train'd-Bands still flying two Days March before him by Order from the Court to give pretence to the King to raise more Forces At Philips Norton by a Surprize or Ambush he cut off the best part of a Troop of Horse the Duke of Grafton narrowly escaping with his Life With this Success he marched within 2 Miles of Bristol where a Consult being held he was advised not to enter that City but to retreat back to Bridgwater which was the first thing that dishearten'd his Party and hinder'd many from joining with him Whereas if he had entred Bristol where there was no Force to oppose him but the Train'd-Bands and the generality of them for him not only in their Hearts but in open Discourses and drinking his Health he might have furnish'd himself with Men Arms and Money to have enabl'd him to march into Gloucestershire among the Clothiers where great Numbers and some of Quality waited to join him and by this means might have kept up the War till he had shak'd King James's Throne if not overturn'd it In this time the King had sent an Army into the West against Monmouth under the Command of the Earl of Feversham as General who incamp'd upon Sedgmore not far from Bridgwater where the Duke of Monmouth and his Party were Quarter'd and the Duke seeing his Men daily Desert in great Numbers it was agreed to make one Push for all and to that purpose issu'd out of Bridgwater by Night but his Guide mistaking his way in the Dark the Duke 's Ill Fate lead him upon a Battallion of Dumbarton's Regiment plac'd in his way who encountering him alarm'd King James's whole Army with whom engaging he was Routed or in all probability he had surpriz'd the King's Army in their Camp and perhaps at that single Blow decided the Fortune of England for once Yet however tho' he came too soon before Matters were Ripe by King James's setting up for the open Establishment of Popery and Arbitrary Power yet he may be said to have pav'd the Way for a Nobler Change in the Throne by leaving King James at Liberty through this success to act without Controul which at length made him Abdicate the Government Monmouth paid the Price of his Rebellion with his Blood being on the 15th of July 1685. Beheaded on Tower-Hill by vertue of an Attainder pass'd upon him in Parliament soon after his Landing An Account of what passed at the Execution of the late Duke of Monmouth on Wednesday the 15th of July 1685. on Tower-Hill THE Duke of Monmouth came from the Tower to the Scaffold attended by the Bishop of Ely the Bishop of Bath and Wells Dr. Tenison and Dr. Hooper which four the King sent him as his Assistants to prepare him for Death The Duke himself entreated all four of them to accompany him a the Place of Execution and to cantinue with him to the last The two Bishops going in the Lieutenant's Coach with him to the Bars made Seasonable and Devont Applications to him all the way and one of them desired him not to be surprized if they to the very last upon the Scaffold renewed those Exhortations to a particular Repentance which they had so often repeated before At his first coming upon the Scaffold he looked for the Executioner and seeing him said Is this the Man to do the Business Do your Work well Then the Duke of Monmouth began to speak some one or other of the Assistants during the whole time applying themselves to him Monmouth I shall say but very little I come to die I die a Protestant of the Church of England Assistants My Lord if you be of the Church of England you must acknowledge the Doctrine of Non-Resistance to be true Mon.
