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 acquired, in making us considered 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.
