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.

At length the King was ••cke of a sore leg, which made him very froward, and the Queen being with him did not fail to use all occasions to moo•• him zealously to proceed in the reformation of the Church: The King showed some tokens of mislike, and broke off the matter, and knit up the Arguments with gentle words, and after pleasant talk she took her leave: The Bishop of Winchester being there; the King immediately upon her departure used these words; It is a good hearing when women become such Clerks, and much to my comfort to come in mine old age to be taught by my Wife.
At length the King was ••cke of a sore legge, which made him very froward, and the Queene being with him did not faile to vse all occasions to moo•• him zeal•usly to proceed in the reformation of the Church: The King shewed some tokens of mislike, and broke off the matter, and knit vp the Arguments with gentle words, and after pl•asant talke she tooke her leaue: The Bishop of Winchester beeing there; the King immediately vpon her departure vsed these words; It is a good hearing when women become such Clarks, and much to my comfort to come in mine old age to be taught by my Wife.
