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.

Doctor Rowland Taylor.
The Town of Hadley was instructed by Thomas Bilney so well, that you might have found there many,1 as well men as women, that had often read over the Bible, and could say a great part of Saint Pauls Epistles by heart, and give a godly learned sentence in any matter of controversy, and there Children and Servants were trained up in the knowledge of Gods Word, that the town seemed rather to be an University, then a town of clothing. In this town the said Rowland Taylor was Parson: He most faithfully endeavoured himself to fulfil his charge: No Sunday nor Holiday passed, nor other time that he could get the people together, but he preached to them the Word of GOD; there was none so rich but he would tell him his fault, with such earnest and grave rebukes as best became a good Pastor: He was ready to do good to all men readily forgiving his enemies. H•e was a Father to the poor. Thus this good Shepherd continued all the time of King Edward.
