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.

Where you ask me of free-will,1 whether a man have free-will that he may deserve joy or pain: we deserve nothing by doing the commandments of God, as it appeareth by the Parable of the Master, which when his servant is come from work will make him wait on him until he hath eaten, and after give him leave to eat, and yet thanketh him not, because he hath done but his duty: so should you say you are unprofitable servants when you have done that which you were bound to do; therefore when we have done well, we should not magnify our own free-will, but his grace by which we did it.
VVHere you aske me of frée-will,1 whether a man haue frée-will that he may deserue ioy or paine: we deserue nothing by doing the commandements of God, as it appeareth by the Parable of the Master, which when his seruant is come from worke will make him waite on him vntill he hath eaten, and after giue him leaue to eate, and yet thanketh him not, because he hath done but his duetie: so should you say you are vnprofitable seruants when you haue done that which you were bound to doe; therefore when we haue done well, we should not magnifie our owne free-will, but his grace by which we did it.
