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.

JOHN RANDALL.
IOHN RANDALL.
This JOHN RANDALL was of Christs College in Cambridge, and for the love that he had to the Scriptures, and sincere Religion, he was suspected and hated; the young man being studious and about one & twenty years old was long lacking of his companions, and through the stench of his corps, his study door• being broken up, he was found hanged with his own girdle within the study, in such manner, that he had his face looking upon the Bible, and his finger pointing to a place of Scripture: whereas predestination was entreated of, surely this matter lacked no singular policy, of some old naughty man, that it should seem for fear of predestination, he was driven to despair, that it might keep their young men from the study of the Scriptures as a thing most perilous.
