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 martyrdom of Laurence Sanders.
He was parson of All-hallows in Breadstr•et, and being minded to give over another Church which he had in Leicester-shire, called Church Langton: about that time came the broil about the claim that Q. Mary made to the crown; by reason whereof he could not accomplish his purpose. In this trouble he preached at Northampton, & boldly uttered his conscience against popish doctrine, and Antichrists damnable errors, which were like to spring up again in England, as a just plague for the little l•ue which the English nation did bear to Gods word, which had ⟨p. 252⟩been so plentifully offered unto them: the Queens men which were there & heard, were highly displeased with him for his Sermon, and kept him amongst them as a Prisoner, but for the love of his Brethren and Friends, which were chee•e do•rs for the Queen, and because there yet was no Law against him, they dismissed him.
