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.

Master Hooper answered, for so much as the Pope taught doctrine contrary to Christs doctrine, he is no member of Christs Church, much less the head thereof, therefore he could not condescend to any such usurped Jurisdiction, neither doth he esteem that Church to be the Catholic Church of Christ, for the true Church heareth only the voice of Christ her Spouse, and flieth the voice of Strangers. I desire the Queens mercy, if mercy may be had with safety of conscience, and without displeasure of GOD: answer was made, that the Queen would show no mercy to the Popes Enemies, then he was sent to the ⟨p. 255⟩Fleet again for six days: then he was brought again before the Bishop of Winchester and other Commissioners in Saint-marry-Overies Church, and the next day condemned, together with Master Rogers, and then they were carried to New-gate, where he remained six days. Bonner and others resorted thither to him divers times, to persuade him to be a member of Antichrist, and when they could not, Bonner degraded him: then he was carried to Gloucester to suffer death, whereof he did greatly rejoice that he should there confirm his doctrine that he had instructed so many in, with his blood.
