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.

John Launder was condemned by the said Bonner for affirming that whosoever doth teach or use any other Sacraments then the Lords Supper and Baptism, or any other ceremonies, he believeth that they were not of the Catholic Church, but abhorreth them, and that he himself is a member of the true Catholic Church: he denied the real presence in the Sacrament, but he believeth that when he receiveth the material Bread and Wine it is in remembrance of Christs death, and that he eats Christs body and blood by faith, and no otherwise, and that the Mass is naught and abominable, and directeth against Gods word, and that the gloria in excelsis, the Creed, Sanctum, Pater noster, Agnus and other parts of the mass be of themselves good, yet being used amongst other things, are naught also, and that auricular confession is not necessary to be made to a Priest, but to God, and that none but Christ hath authority to absolve sins.

Derick being asked whether he would recant: your doctrine, quoth he, is poison and sorcery: if Christ were here you would put him to a worse death then he was put to before. You say you can make a God, you can make a Pudding as well: your ceremonies in the Church are beggary, and poison, and auricular confession is poison and against Gods word: so they were condemned and burned. Derick was rich, but the raeners made such havoc thereof, that his poor wife and children had little or none thereof: he was old and past learning, yet when he was put into prison being ignorant of any letter in his book, he could before his death read perfectly.
