Christs victory over Satan's tyranny Wherein is contained a catalogue of all Christs faithful soldiers that the Devil either by his grand captains the emperors, or by his most dearly beloved sons and heirs the popes, have most cruelly martyred for the truth. With all the poisoned doctrines wherewith that great read dragon hath made drunken the kings and inhabitants of the earth; with the confutations of them together with all his traitorous practises and designs, against all Christian princes to this day, especially against our late Queen Elizabeth of famous memory, and our most religious Sovereign Lord King James. Faithfully abstracted out of the Book of martyrs, and divers other books. By Thomas Mason preacher of Gods Word.Christs victorie ouer Sathans tyrannie Wherin is contained a catalogue of all Christs faithfull souldiers that the Diuell either by his grand captaines the emperours, or by his most deerly beloued sonnes and heyres the popes, haue most cruelly martyred for the truth.

John Florence, 1a Turner of Shelton, in the Diocese of Norwich, was attached because he held and taught that the Pope and Cardinals have no power to constitute Laws, that nor day is to be kept holiday, but Sunday. That there ought to be no fast, but of the Qua•uor temporum. That Images are not to be worshipped▪ not lights to be set before them. Not […] go on Pilgrimage, nor offe• for the dead, or with women that are purified. That Curates should not claim Tithes by any exaction, and that they should be divided amongst the poor. That such as swear by their life, or power, except they repent, shall be dam••d. He was brought before the Chancellor, and forced to abjure, and was sworn not to hold or teach any thing contrary to the determination of the Church of Rome, nor to help or aid any that should so do. He was enjoined for penan•• thr•• Sund•ies Solemn Procession in the Cathedral Church of Norwich, to be whipped before all the people, and three other Sundays about his Parish Church of Shelton, bare f••ted, & bare necked, his body being covered with a canvas shirt, and canvas breeches, carrying in his hand a Taper of a pound weight, & so was dismissed.
