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 Pope cannot make laws according to his own mind and will, and say they are spiritual, and pertain to the soul, and are necessary to eternal life: for the word of God giveth them no such authority, in the 23. of Joshua, Thou shalt not swerve from my law to the right hand, nor to the left: And in the 12. of Deuteronomy, Thou shalt neither add to, nor take from my Commandments: Therefore in the second of Malachi; The Priest shall maintain wisdom, and the law shall they require at his hands. And where he speaketh of hearing them, he putteth this condition, that they answer according to the Law of the Lord, then these are covenant-breakers, that bind the consciences of men with new laws: And in the 33. of Ezekiel, Thou shalt hear the word out of my mouth, and declare it unto my people, So he could not speak any thing of himself, and God by Jeremiah, calleth it Chaff, whatsoever doth not proceed from himself: The Prophets speak nothing but the words of God, therefore they so often used these words; The word of the Lord, the burden of the Lord, the vision of the Lord, thus saith the Lord: The Apostles must not teach their own devises, but that which God commanded them. Paul in the second to the Colossians, denieth he hath any dominion over their Faith, though their Apostle. And in the ••nth to the Romans, Faith cometh by hearing the word of God, and not by hearing the dreams of the Pope: & Christ himself saith for our example, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me; to teach Ministers what to do: The power of the Church is not such, that it may teach new Doctrines, frame new Articles of Faith, and new laws, but is subject to the word of the Lord included in the same.
The Pope cannot make lawes according to his owne mind and will, and say they are spirituall, and pertaine to the soule, and are necessary to eternall life: for the word of God giueth them no such authority, in the 23. of Iosua, Thou shalt not swarue from my law to the right hand, nor to the left: And in the 12. of Deuteronomy, Thou shalt neither adde to, nor take from my Commaundements: Therefore in the second of Malachy; The Priest shall maintaine wisdome, and the law shal they require at his hands. And where he speaketh of hearing them, he putteth this condition, that they answere according to the Law of the Lord, then these are couenant-breakers, that binde the consciences of men with new lawes: And in the 33. of Ezekiell, Thou shalt heare the word out of my mouth, and declare it vnto my people, So he could not speake any thing of himselfe, and God by Ieremie, calleth it Chaffe, whatsoeuer doth not procéede from himselfe: The Prophets speake nothing but the words of God, therefore they so often vsed these wordes; The word of the Lord, the burden of the Lord, the vision of the Lord, thus saith the Lord: The Apostles must not teach their owne deuises, but that which God commaunded them. Paul in the second to the Collosians, denieth he hath any dominion ouer their Faith, though their Apostle. And in the nth to the Romains, Faith commeth by hearing the word of God, and not by hearing the dreames of the Pope: & Christ himselfe saith for our example, My doctrin is not mine, but his that sent me; to teach Ministers what to do: The power of the Church is not such, that it may teach new Doctrines, frame new Articles of Faith, and new lawes, but is subiect to the word of the Lord included in the same.
