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.

I can prove ⟨p. 251⟩the doctrine which I preach by the Scriptures, and the fathers that lived until four hundred years after Christ: he answered, I was a private man, and was not to be heard, nor to be permitted to prove whether the whole realm had done right or wrong, when the Parliament had concluded a thing: I answered, no laws of man must rule the word of God, but they all must be judged thereby, and obey thereto; and neither my conscience nor any Christian mans conscience could be satisfied with such laws as did disagree from that word.
