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.

James Trevisam.
Iames Treuisam.
He was of the parish of Saint Margarets in Lothburie: he was lame and kept his bed, and could not rise out of it a long time; one John Small his servant read to him on the Bible; in the mean time Berd the Promoter came into the house, and went up the Stairs, where he found four persons besides Trevisam and his wife, which he carried to the Counter, where they remained a fortnight, and he brought a Cart to the door to have the lame man to Newgate, but that his neighbours entreated for him, and put in sureties for his appearance. One Master Farthing the parson came to him, and communicated with him, and they agreed well. Then one Toller meeting the Priest, said, if you be agreed I will accuse you, for he denieth the Sacrament of the Altar: then the parson went to him again, and then they could not agree; whereupon the parson told Bonner, and he said he should be burned, and if he were dead he should be buried in a Ditch; so when he died he was buried in More-fields, the same night he was digged up, and his sheet taken away, and he left naked upon the ground, then the owner of the field buried him again, and fortnight after the Summoner came to his grave, and summoned him to appear at Pauls before his Ordinary; but what more was done, I have no certainty of.
