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.

The History of Master JAMES BAYNHAM, a Lawyer.
The History of Maister IAMES BAYNHAM, a Lawyer.
This Master Baynham was accused to Sir Thomas Moore, Chancellor, & arrested with a Sergeant at Arms, and carried out of the middle Temple to his house at Chelsea, & when he saw he could not prevail with him, he whipped him at a tree in his garden, then racked him at the tower before himself, until they had almost lamed him, because he would not accuse Gentlemen of the Temple, nor tell where his books lay, and because his wife denied they were at his house, she was sent to the fleet, and his goods confiscate. When they had often used him upon the tortures, then he sent him to the Bishop of London, who cast him into Lollards tower, until he had bin divers times before him examined, and they were not able to resist him. He was both mighty in Scriptures and Arguments, that he was able to confound them with their own Arguments: so he condemned him, and the Bishop sent one Doctor Symons to pervert him, and wait upon him to the stake, & after much communication between the Doctor & him, he prayed the Sheriffs to deliver him from Satan, for he was content to confirm his faith with his blood. At the stake he lay down flat and prayed, then rising up, he embraced the stake: then he said, Good people, I am come hither, accused and condemned for an heretic: these be the Articles I dye for.
