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
