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.

He answered, that •e neither heretically nor blasphemously spake against any of the said Articles, but simply and ••uely as occasion served according to his conscience, maintaining the truth touching the said Articles, as it was taught in King Edward the sixth his time, whereupon they condemned him at the next appearance. And when he would have persuaded them otherwise by the word of God, the Bishop told him he ought not to dispute with heretics. Then he prayed the people to bear him witness, he held no other opinions then were by Law most godly established, and publicly taught in King Edwards time, wherein he would live and die.
