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.

That it is intolerable to the Germans to pay so great A•mats for the confirmation of the Bishops and Arch-bishops, where the Arch-bishop of Ments was wont to pay but 10000. Florins for his confirmation, It was after augmented to 20000. Florins, then to 25000. Florins, and at last to 27000. Florins: And in one Popes time, this was seven times paid out of the Arch-bishopric of Ments, ⟨p. 149⟩that the Arch-bishop hath been fain to borrow it of Merchants, and to pay them again, forced to exact a Subsidy upon his poor Husbandmen, so that our people are brought to extreme poverty, and moved to rebellion to seek their liberty, grievously murmuring against the Clergy. James, Arch-bishop of Ments said at his death, he was sorry for nothing, as for that his poor Subjects should after his death be forced again to pay a grievous exaction for the Pall: therefore let the Pope, as a godly Father, deal more favourably with his Children the Germans, least men follow the example of the Bohemians, and swerve from him, especially let him be more favourable unto the Bishops, that die so soon one after another: whereof there be fifty Bishoprics, besides many Abbots in Germany that are confirmed at Rome, otherwise Germany will want treasure and Munition of war against their enemies, and to preserve peace, and minister Justice to every man, and banish away murderers and thieves, and repair Churches and Monasteries and Hospitals, and other necessaries.
