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 Chronicles write, that about the year 180.1 King Lucius, Son of Coylus, which builded Colchester, hearing of the miracles of Christians in his time, writ to Elutherius Bishop of Rome to receive the Faith; the good Bishop sent him certain Preachers, which converted the King of the Britons, and baptized them, there were the twenty eight Priests called Flamens, which they turned to twenty eight Bishops, and three Arch-Flamens, to three Arch-bishops, to wit; London, York, and Glamargan by Wales. Thus all the Realm settled in good order, Lucius sent again to Elutherius for the Romaine Laws, thereby likewise to govern the Realm.
