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 examination of ANDREW HEWET, that was burned with JOHN FRITH.
The examination of ANDREVV HEVVET, that was burned with IOHN FRITH.
HE was a Prentice in Wattling-street, to a Taylor, when he was asked what he thought touching the Sacrament of the last Supper: he answered, even as John Frith doth: Then one of the Bishops said, Dost thou not believe that it is really the body of Christ, borne of the Virgin Mary? He said, that I do not believe why said the Bishop; he said Christ commanded me not to give rash credit to them which say, Behold here is Christ, and there is Christ, for many false Prophets shall rise up, saith the Lord. Then Stokly, Bishop of London, said, Frith is condemned for an heretic, and except thou revoke thine opinion, thou shalt be burned with him: he said, he was content. The Bishop used many persuasions to allure him to recant, but could not, wherefore he was burned with Frith as before. When they were at the stake, one Doctor Coke admonished all the people, that they should in no wise pray for them no more then they would for a Dog, whereat Frith smiling, desired the Lord to forgive him, and so departed.
