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.

A Dominick Friar named Tecell, caused the Popes indulgences to be carried and sold about the Country. Luther being moved with the blasphemous Sermons of this shameless Friar, set up certain positions against Indulgences openly upon the Temples: This Friar hoping to obtain the Popes blessing, assembled certain Monks, and sophistical Divines, and commanded them to write something against Luther, and in his Sermons, he taught that Luther was an heretic, and worthy to be burned, and he burned Luther's positions, and the Sermon he writ against indulgences: This forced Luther to entreat more amply of things and to maintain the truth. Frederick Duke of Saxony, in the presence of the Emperor, besought Erasmus, his opinion, if Luther had erred, he answered his opinions were good, but he desired he would moderate his stile.

Now Luther, the plainer to express the doctrine of repentance, of remission of sins, of Faith and of Indulgences, He added also these matters; the difference of Divine and humane Laws; the Doctrine of the use of the Lords Supper, of Baptism and vows; touching the Question of the Popes power, Eckius was the Author thereof, to the intent to inflame the wrath of the Pope and Princes against Luther.
