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.

The troubles of Katherine Parre, Henry the eight his last Wife, for the Gospel, by the meanes of Gardiner and others.
A Year after the King came from Bullen, he was informed that the Queens Katherine Part, was much given to the reading and study of •he Scriptures; and that she had retained divers godly learned Preachers to instruct her therein, with whom she used privately to confer, and in the afternoons one of them made collation to her: her Ladies and Gentlewomen and others disposed to hear, in which Sermons they oftentimes touched the abuses in the Church, and often she would debate with the King touching Religion, and persuade him as he had to the glory of GOD, and his eternal fame begun a godly work in banishing that monstrous Idol of Rome, so he would purge his Church from the dregs thereof, wherein was yet great superstition: And though the King in the later end grew opp•nionate, and would not be taught nor contended withal by Argument yet towards her he refrained his accustomed manner, for never handmaid sought more to please her Mistress, then she to please his humour; and she was of such singular beauty, favour, and comely personage, wherein the King was greatly delighted: but Gardiner Bishop of Winchester, Wrisley Lord Chancellor, and others of the Kings Privy Chamber, practised her death, that they might the better stop the passage of the Gospel: and having taken away the patroness of the professors of the truth, they might invade the remainder with fire and sword, but they du•st not speak to the King touching her, because they saw the King loved her so well.
