Original text, archaic Swedish

Blef 1657 öfverste vid östgöta infanteri, öfverste för Västgöta ryttare, 1684 generalmajor vid kavalleriet och öfverste för Lifgardet, 1668 generallöjnant och slutligen riksråd. Han fick, da man befarade krig med Ryssland, befallning att taga befal öfver trupperna i Finland och Ingermanland och vidtaga nödiga försvars- åtgärder. Vid den landtdag, som han 1676 höll i Åbo, beviljades regeringens begäran om nya krigsgärder, och De la G. tillsåg sedermera, att ständernas beslut verkställdes. 1677 öfvertog han försvarsverket vid Kopparberget och blef 1680 medlem af reduktionskommisionen. 16871704 tjänstgjorde De la G. som generalguvernör i Estland, men afskedades på grund af bristande drift i ämbetets förvaltning, hvarefter han åter intog sin plats i rådet.

I assume the text is from Nordisk Familjebok, so there's not even any reason to keep it here...OlofE 12:36, 16 Apr 2004 (UTC)
