A SPEECH Delivered by the King of Poland TO HIS ARMY Before the Battle , September 12th . 1683.

BRave and Valiant Gentlemen of Poland , it is not here only requisite to make good the Glory which your Ancestors Valour have acquir'd , in making us consider'd as the Bulwark of Christianity against the Arms of the Ottamans : It is not only sufficient at this present to defend your Country , which the loss of Vienna would expose by a necessary consequence to the Invasion of those Infidels , with whom we are to Fight . Here it is necessary to defend the Cause of God , and to preserve the Western Empire , which hath done us the Honour to have recourse to our Assistance ; an Honour which our Ancestors dust never aspire unto , and was reserved for your Valour . Entertain therefore no other thoughts at present , but either to Conquer , or Nobly to end your Lives in this Just Cause , to which the Glory of our common Master is annexed : Think now that you are to Fight in the sight of so many Brave Commanders who are engaged in the same Cause and Peril ; reflect also that your King Fights at the Head of you , whereby to have a share both in your Glory and Danger ; and withall be confident that the God of Battles whose Cause we defend will undoubtedly Fight for us .

Printed by N. Thompson at the Entrance into the Old-Spring-Garden near Charing-Cross 1683.

HARANGUE DU Roy de Pologne A SON ARMéE Avant le Combat , le 12 du mois de Septembre , 1683 :

BRaves Chevaliers Polonnois , Il ne s'agit pas icy seulement de soûtenir la Gloire que vos Ancestres & vostre Generositè vous ont aquise , vous faisant considérer comme le boulevard invincible de la Chrêtientè contre les Armes Ottomanes ; Il ne sági● pas de defendre vostre Paîs , que la Perte de Vienne exposeroit , par une suite nécessaire , a ▪ la cruelle invasion des Infidelles contre qui vous allez combattre ; Il s'agit de defendre la cause de Dieu , & de Sauver l'Empire d'Occident qui nous a fait l'Honneur de recourir à nos Armes , honneur que jamais nos Ancestres n'avoient ozé espérer , & qui etoit reservé à vostre bravoure . Ne Songez donc plus qu'a vaincre , ou á movrir Noblement dans une si belle occasion ou la Gloire du Maistre est attachée . Songez que vous allez combattre à la veûe de tant de braves guerriers qui vont s'engager avec vous dans le même péril , et songez que vostre Roy combat à vostre tête pour partager avec vous le danger & la gloire , & soyez assurez que le Dieu des batailles , dont vous defendez la cause , combat pour vous .
