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.

And albeit he had written many good things, and doubtless with a good spirit, yet now the Devil hath attempted by wily means that all his works for evermore should be condemned: and by these last works, it is easy to know the tree by the fruit, not by the blossoms, often repeating in his Oration that this admonition was given of singular good will and great clemency: in the shutting up of his Oration he added menasings, that if he would abide in his purposed intent, the Emperor would exterminate him his Empire.
