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.

WILLIAM TRACY Esquire.
VVILLIAM TRACY Esquire.
A Little before this time William Tracy of Todington in Gloucester-shire made his Will, that he would have no funeral pomp at his burying, nor Mass; and said that he trusted in God only, and hoped by him to be saved, and not by any Saint. His Executor brought the Will to the Bishop of Canterbury that then was, to prove it; which he showed to the Convocation, and they judged him to be taken up and burned as an heretic, and sent a commission to Doctor Parker Chancellor of Worcester, to execute their sentence, who accomplished the same. The King hearing thereof, sent for the Chancellor, who laid the fault on the Bishop; yet it cost him three hundred pound er• he could have a pardon.
