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.

George answered, he doth acknowledge one holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, without which is no salvation: and this Church is but one, because it hath and believeth in but one God, and him only worshippeth, and one Christ, and in him only trusteth for salvation; and it is ruled only by one Spirit, one Word, and one Faith: and that it is universal, because it hath been from the beginning of the world, and shall be unto the end of the world; having in it some of all Nations, kindreds and languages, degrees, ••ates, and conditions of men. This Church is builded only upon the foundation of the Prophets and Apostles, Jesus Christ being the Head-corner-stone, and not on the Romish Laws and Decrees, the Pope being not the supreme head, and that it was before any succession of Bishops, general Councils, or Romish Decrees, neither was bound to any time or place, ordinary succession, general Councils, or Tradition of Fathers; neither had any supremacy over Empires and Kingdoms.

But that it was a little […] flock dispersed abroad as sheep without a Shepherd in the middest of Wolves: or as a flock of fatherless Children, assisted, succoured, and defended only by Christ Jesus their supreme head; from all assaults, errors, troubles and persecutions, wherewith she is ever compassed about.
