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.

George Carpenter of Emering was burned in Monuchen of Bavaria,1 for maintaining of these four Articles. First, that he did not believe that Priests could forgive sins; neither that a man could call God out of heaven, neither that God was in the bread that the Priests hang upon the Altar: Fourthly, that the element of water in Baptism, doth not give grace: Then one asked him whether he feared not his Judgement, neither loved his Wife and Children, and if he would recant he should return to them, and be pardoned. Whereunto he answered, my wife and Children are so dearly beloved unto me, that they cannot be bought from me for all the Duke of Bavaria his riches: But for the love of my Lord God, I will willingly forsake them: as he was going to execution, one bid him believe the Sacrament of the Altar, and not to believe it to be only a sign. He answered, he believed the Sacrament to be a sign of the body of Christ offered for us: Then he said why doest thou so little esteem Baptism, being Christ was baptized: He answered not the baptism of Christ, but his suffering, was our Salvation: Him this day will I confess before the world: He is my Saviour in him I will believe: Then one bid him put his trust in God, and say if I err, truly I repent: To whom he answered, God suffereth me not to err: Then one bid him not to hazard the matter, but to choose some Christian brother not to confess thy self unto, but take Counsel off: He said it would be too long: Then one said, Our Father: He answered, truly thou art our Father, and no other, this day I trust to be with thee. The other said, Hallowed be thy Name: He answered, my God how little is thy Name Hallowed in this world: Then he said, thy Kingdom come: He said let thy kingdom come this day unto me, that I may come to the Kingdom: the other said: Thy will be done in earth as in heaven: He said for this cause, O Father I am now here that thy will may be finished, and not mine: Then the other said, Give us this day our daily bread: He said th' only living bread Jesus Christ shall be my food: The other said, And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive them that trespass against us: He answered, with a willing mind do I forgive all men, friends & adversaries: The other said, Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
