This made me not very sorry when we decamp'd, and we soon after receiv'd Orders to march and invest _Charleroy_; before which Place we stay'd somewhat above a Week, and then drew off. I remember very well, that I was not the only Person then in the Camp that was at a Loss to dive into the Reason of this Investiture and Decampment: But since I at that time, among the Politicians of the Army, never heard a good one, I shall not venture to offer my Sentiments at so great a Distance. We, after this march'd towards _Mons_; and, in our March, pass'd over the very Grounds on which the Battle of _Seneff_ had been fought three Years before. It was with no little Pleasure, that I re-survey'd a Place, that had once been of so much Danger to me; and where my Memory and Fansy now repeated back all those Observations I had then made under some unavoidable Confusion. Young as I was, both in Years and Experience, from my own Reflections, and the Sentiments of others, after the Fight was over, methought I saw visibly before me the well order'd Disposition of the Prince of _Condé_; the inexpressible Difficulties which the Prince of _Orange_ had to encounter with; while at the same Moment I could not omit to repay my Debt to the Memory of my first Patron, Sir _Walter Vane_, who there loosing his Life, left me a solitary Wanderer to the wide World of Fortune. But these Thoughts soon gave place to new Objects, which every Hour presented themselves in our continu'd March to _Enghien_, a Place famous for the finest Gardens in all _Flanders_, near which we encamp'd, on the very same Ground which the _French_ chose some Years after at the Battle of _Steenkirk_: of which I shall speak in its proper Place. Here the Prince of _Orange_ left our Army, as we afterwards found, to pass into _England_; where he marry'd the Princess _Mary_, Daughter of the Duke of _York_. And after his Departure, that Campaign ended without any thing further material. Now began the Year 1678, famous for the Peace, and no less remarkable for an Action previous to it, which has not fail'd to employ the Talents of Men, variously, as they stood affected. Our Army, under the Prince of _Orange_, lay encamp'd at _Soignies_, where it was whisper'd that the Peace was concluded. Notwithstanding which, two Days after, being _Sunday_ the 17th Day of _August_, the Army was drawn out, as most others as well as my self apprehended, in order to _feux de Joye_; but in lieu of that, we found our March order'd towards St. _Dennis_, where the Duke of _Luxembourg_ lay, as he imagin'd, safe in inaccessible Entrenchments.
