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.

By these and such like innumerable Sayings it doth appear what Judgements the people had in those days of the Romish Clergy, which was of GOD as a secret prophecy, that Religion should be restored shortly, as it came to pass in this year one thousand five hundred and sixteen: in which year Doctor MARTIN LUTHER first began to write: before whom Picus Mirandola, and Laurentius Valla, and last of all Erasmus Roterodamus had somewhat broken the way before, and had shaken the Monks houses, but LUTHER gave the stroke, and plucked down the foundation, all by opening one vein long hid before, wherein lieth the touchstone of all truth and Doctrine: as the only origin of our salvation, which is our free Justification by our Faith only in Christ: the laborious travels and constant preachings of this worthy man: because they are at large in the History of John Sleydan, I need not to stand thereon.
