Of Zižka's letters, the most noteworthy is the celebrated _Letter to the Allies of Domažlice_. The citizens of Domažlice (Tauss) had been attacked by the Germans, and applied to their Hussite comrades for aid. Zižka wrote to them: "Dear Brothers in God!--I beg you for the sake of the Lord God to remain in the fear of God as His most beloved sons, and not to complain if He chastises you. Remembering the founder of our faith, our Lord Jesus Christ, you will defend yourselves bravely against the wrongs which these Germans endeavour to inflict on you. You will thus follow the example of the ancient Bohemians, who, valiantly using their lances, defended both God's cause and their own. And we, dear brethren, seeking the law of God and the good of the commonwealth, will do everything possible, that every one of our men who is able to wield a club or even to hurl a stone should march to your aid. And therefore, dear brethren, be it known to you that we are collecting our men from all parts of the country against these enemies of God and devastators of the Bohemian land. Therefore instruct your priests, that they may when preaching rouse the people against the armies of Antichrist. Let it also be proclaimed in the marketplace that all able men, young or old, must be ready at any moment. And we, God willing, shall be shortly with you. Have bread, beer, fodder for the horses ready, as well as all weapons of war. For indeed it is time (to march), not only against the internal enemies, but also against the foreigners. Remember your first campaign, when you fought bravely, humble men against the great, few against many, unclothed against men in armour. For the arm of God has not been shortened! Therefore trust in God and be ready. May the Lord God grant you strength!" Very similar to the _Regulations of War_ and to the letters of Zižka are the sentiments contained in the well-known Taborite war-song, _All ye Warriors of God_, which has often been called the Bohemian _Marseillaise_ of the fifteenth century. Want of space obliges me to quote only some of the first and the last lines of this spirited song, which, according to the most recent researches, is undoubtedly a work of Zižka:-- _"All ye warriors of God,_ _Fighters for His law,_ _Pray to God for help,_ _And trust in Him,_ _With Him victory ever will be yours._ _Fear not those, the Lord hath said,_ _Who would your body harm._ _For love of your fellow-creatures_ _He has ordered you to die;_ _Therefore strengthen manfully your hearts._ _Christ will recompense your sorrows,_ _Hundredfold repay you,_ _Who for Him doth lose his life_ _Will win eternal bliss;_ _Happy he who dies for the truth._ * * * * * _Therefore manfully cry out:_ _'At them! rush at them!'_ _Wield bravely your arms;_ _Pray to your Lord God;_ _Strike and kill! spare none!"_
