VVith the Help of JESƲS CHRIST,

Without the Help of the Most Christian MONARCH.

Against the Most Antichristian MONARCH.

VIENNA stands Freed.

The Turkish Power Totters.

Rebellion Falls.

The Gates of Strigonium open.

Happy AUSTRIA (for which GOD always doth Wonders against
the Turks and French) Arises from her Ashes, and (after
Devastation) TRIUMPHS.

You therefore, that are Enemies, Fear GOD, Fighting for Leopold.

You that are Subjects, love Leopold, Fighting for GOD.

You that are Rebells, expect the utmost Ruine.

You that are Loyal, hope for a perfect VICTORY.

For though the powers of the Ayr, Earth and Hell be moved, at last The Christian Cause will Triumph.
