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.

In this year a Jew in Constantinople was baptized and became Christian,1 which thing vehemently exasperated the Turks against him: and fearing it should be some detriment to their Mahumeticall law, they sought to kill him, which they did, and cast his dead carcass into the streets, commanding that none should bury it. Wherein the glory of Christ appeared: for the dead corps lying there nine days, was as fresh coloured, without corruption or smell, as if it had bin alive; whereat the Turks being astonished, took it up and buried it.

The Cardinal having defied the Emperor, as before, and made him displeased with the King of England, he further whispered in the Kings ear, that the Emperor had evil entreated and imprisoned the Kings Ambassadors in Spain: by which means the Emperors Ambassador in England was imprisoned, and his goods seized, until Letters came to the contrary, and then he was set at liberty. When the Ambassador complained unto the Cardinal, he laid all the fault upon Clarentius, and that Clarentius had defied the Emperor without the Kings knowledge, by the request of the Herald of France, and that at his return he should lose his head at Calais.
