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 Burrell, servant to Thomas Moon of Ludney,1 in the Diocese of Norwich, was apprehended, and it was objected against him, besides the Articles before mentioned, that he held that the Catholic Church, is the Souls of every good Christian. That Lent, and other Fasting-days, were ordained of the Priests, and not of God: and that men may eat flesh, or fish indifferently upon those days: That Pilgrimage ought not to be made, but to the poor. That it is not lawful to swear, but in case of of life and death. That Masses, and prayers for the Souls of the dead are vain, and that the dead are either in Heaven, or Hell, for there is no Purgatory, but this world. He was forced to […] and suffer like punishment as before.
