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.

Like unto this was the field of Musclebrough fought in Scotland the year before this when the Scots encamping themselves against the Lord Protector & the Kings power sent into Scotland, they likewise brought into the field the Gods of their ⟨p. 224⟩Altars, with Masses, Crosses, Banners, and all their popish stuff, having great affiance therein, to have a great day against the English army, as to mans judgement might seem not unlike. The number of the Scots army far exceeded ours: but the arm of the Lord so turned the victory, that the Scots in the end with all their Masses and Trinkets were put to the wors•, of whom were slain between thirteen and fourteen thousands, and not passing a hundred English men: The cause of this war was because the Scots had promised King Henry the eight, that the young Scottish Quee•e should marry with King Edward, which promise they afterward brake and payed therefore: and this victory was the same day and hour, when the Images were burned openly in London.
