In 1693 he undertook a secret mission to France to discuss a possible renewal of plans for a naval expedition, and was granted an audience with Louis XIV. Arrested in 1695-6 he spent a year in the Tower of London before being released on bail of £10,000 and allowed to leave for Brussels, where he spent the rest of his life.
