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.

He came contrary to the expectation of many, and of his adversaries; for they thought he would not come, because his books a few days before were condemned by public proclamations, and many persuaded him not to submit himself to any danger: who answered, since I am sent for, I am resolved to enter into Worms, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, though I knew there were so many Devils to resist me, as there be tiles to cover the houses in Worms.

The fourth or fifth day after he came to Worms, he was enjoined at four of the clock in the afternoon, to appear before the Emperor, Dukes, and other estates of the Empire, to understand the cause he was sent for. And standing before them, he was commanded silence until he was interrogated. Then was asked him, whether those books were his which were written in his name, a great company of them lying before them? and if they were thine, whether thou wilt recant, and revoke them, and all that is contained in them, or rather meanest to stand to that which is written in them? Then Luther's Advocate desired that the titles of the books might be read, which was done.
