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.

We showed before in the latter end of the Council of Basil, how Eugenius was deposed, and Felix Duke of Savoy elected Pope. Whereupon arose great discords. Eugenius sent his Orators into Germany, to persuade them to infringe the Council of Basil, and the Dolphin of France, set on by the said Eugenius, led an army of five and twenty thousand men into Alsatia, and laid siege unto Basil to disturb the Council, having there a great conflict with the Germans with great slaughter, whereby the Council could not be kept any longer in Germany, but in France through the pragmatical sanction of the French King After Eugenius brought to pass by the Emperor, and his Orators of which Aeneas Siluius was one, that they were content to give over the Council of Basil. Frederick of Austridge not being yet Emperor, but labouring for the Empire, brought to pass that Felix, which was chosen Pope in the Council of Basil, was content to resign his papacy unto Nicholas the eight, successor to Eugenius, of the which Nicholas, the said Frederick was confirmed Emperor at Rome, and there crowned in the year one thousand four hundred fifty and one.
