The great Standard the Horses Tail and the Grand Viziers own Horse were taken by the Poles who obstinatly pursued them in their Retreat and there was much booty found in the Turkish Camp which was wholly plundered even to the Tent of the Grand Vizier where they found great Riches in Gold Silver and other precious things All their Artillery which consisted of above an hundred pieces of Cannon was also gained with store of Ammunition The great Standard we mentioned before was carried before the King of Poland when he made his entry into Vienna immediately after it was Relieved and was sent presently by that King to the Pope On the one side of it was this Inscription We prophecy to you prosperity and good Success God Pardon your Sins and grant you all his grace And on the other side God Assist and Bless you and dwell in the Hearts of Believers that the purity of the Faith may encrease therein Besides him there is no other God and Mahomet is his Prophet It will not be amiss here to insert the List of the great Lords who besides the Imperialists were present at that Battle of whom the Names follow The King of Poland Prince Alexander his Son. The Elector of Bavaria The Elector of Saxony The Duke of Lorrain Prince Waldeck Two Marquesses of Baden Four Dukes of Saxony Three Dukes of Wittenberg The Prince of Anhalt The Duke of Croy. The Prince of Salms Two Dukes of Neubourgh The Marquess of Barreit The Prince of Hannover The Prince Lubomirski The Prince of Savoy The Prince of Hogen Zoller And since the King of Poland had so great a Hand in this Victory I hope the Curious will not be dissatisfied to see the League offensive and defensive which was happily made and concluded in the Month of April 1683. betwixt their Imperial and Polonian Majesties of which the substance follows 1. There shall be only an Alliance defensive betwixt the two high Contractors but against the Turks there shall be also an Alliance offensive which shall last untill both Parties find themselves in Rest and good Security 2. This Alliance shall be Sworn and Sacredly confirmed by Oath in presence of the Pope by the two Cardinals Pio and Barberino aswell in name of his Imperial Majesty as of his Majesty of Poland and of his States 3. His Imperial Majesty renounces all pretentions for the Charges he hath been at for the good of the Republick of Poland during the late War of Sweden and the Diploma de Electione Regis shall be given back and annulled 4. On the other hand the Crown and Republick of Poland renounces all pretentions it can have against the House of Austria 5. The one shall not make a separate Peace without the consent of the other 6. The Heirs of the two parties and Successors in the Government shall be obliged to observe this Alliance 7. This only is to be understood of a War against the Turks and not of any other 8. His Imperial Majesty declares that he will entertain 60000. men whereof he will send 40000. into the Fields and keep the other 20000. in Garrisons 9. His Polonian Majesty offers to bring 40000. men into the Fields under his own command 10. To the end the Preparations of War may be the sooner in readiness His Imperial Majesty promises by Anticipation to remit 200000. Crowns to the Crown of Poland on condition that that sum be raised out of the Tenth of the Pope in the Kingdom of Poland which he hath granted for that effect 11. His Imperial Majesty shall be obliged to recover the places that he hath lost in Hungary The Poles in like manner shall be obliged to regain theirs in Podolia Walachia and the Vkrain and to act against Teckely with 6000. men 12. Other Christian Kings and Potentats may be also received into this Alliance but not without the mutual consent of both Parties and above all the two Czars of Muscovy shall be earnestly entreated to enter into it I cannot conclude this Chapter without calling to mind a pretty Embleme made upon occasion of this Victory by a young Prince who reckons Emperors amongst his Ancestors The Emblem represents a Turk pitching a Net to surprise and catch the Eagle but who wandering and engaging too far in his own Toile became himself therein the prey of the Eagle with this Inscription Qui captat capitur or Turca à capiendis captus Turca parans Aquilae insidias ac retia tendens In somnis nuper visus adesse mihi O miseram mecum tacitus te funera dixi Quae maneant nescis quo malè cauta volas Interea in casses tendebat rectà volatu Tollere jam praedam praedo parabat ovans Unguibus at contrà volucris mirabile visu Tendentem insidias insidiasque tulit Sic raptus raptor factus sic latro rapina Praedonemque putans se fore praeda fuit THE BATTLE OR DEFEAT OF THE TURKS NEAR PRESBOVRG THE Turks who were before Vienna in the year 1683. finding it difficult to bring their Provisions and Ammunition from the City of Buda to the place where they were on the side of the Danube because the Garrisons of Raab and Comora way laid all their Convoys and much annoyed them the Grand Visier
