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.

Touching your question whether Images ought not to be in the Churches for a remembrance of Christ, and his Saints. I know no Images made with hands that ought to be worshipped; For the Psalm saith, Confusion be unto all such as worship carved Images and glory in pictures.

And S. Augustine in his Book de vera religione, let us not be bound to worship the works of men, for the workmen are more excellent then the things that they make; whom notwithstanding we ought not to worship: and if Christs Doctrine were so opened, that people might understand it, as Prelates chiefly ought to do by teaching, we should have no need of Images, for nothing is so effectual to excite the remembrance of Disciples, as the lively voice of good teachers.
