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.

Peter, Christ would have us worship him in Spirit and truth: The Scots build Temples and Chapels for Idols, in which they commit Fornication: In the tenth to the Hebrews, Christ, By one sacrifice, hath made those perfect for ever which are sanctified: And to this effect Christ said on the Cross, It is finished, showing that by his death all Sacrifices for sin ended; yet the Scottish Church-men daily offer Christ for sins, both of them alive, and them that be dead: God commandeth not to worship any Graven Images, the Scots fall flat to them, and offer them: Incense. Paul teacheth, that Christ is our wisdom, righteousness, satisfaction, and redemption: the Scots prefer the traditions of men before the law of God, they stablish righteousness in their own works, ⟨p. 195⟩and Sanctification in holy water, and other outward things, and Redemption in pieces of Lead, which they buy of their great Antichrist.
