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 Lady MARY.
The King & his Council had much travel by Letters and messengers, to reduce the Lady Mary to obedient conformity of Religion: yet she would not be reclaimed from her own singular opinion, fixed upon custom, to give any indifferent hearing unto the word and voice of verity, the which set will of the said Lady Mary, the young King, and also his Father King Henry, right well perceiving they were both much displeased against her, insomuch that not only her brother did ⟨p. 233⟩sequester her in his Will, but also her own father considering her inclination, did conceive such a hate against her, that for a great space he did seclude her from the title of Princess, yea, and seemed so greatly incensed against her, that he was fully purposed to have proceeded further with her, as it is reported, had not the intercession of Thomas Cranmer the Archbishop reconciled the King again to favour and pardon his own daughter.
