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.

Smith. Paul to the Galatians, asheth whether they received the Spirit by the ⟨p. 288⟩deeds of the law, or by the preaching of faith, and concludeth that the Holy Ghost accompanieth preaching of faith, and with the word of faith entereth into the heart; so if Baptism preach unto me the washing in Christs blood, the holy Ghost doth accompany it: and Christ saith Suffer little children to come unto me, and not unto water; then if you suffer them not to come to Christ without the necessity of water, but condemn them if they die before baptism, you condemn both the merits and the words of Christ.

Bonner. Thou makest the water of no•• effect, and then thou mayest put away water.
Smith. Peter saith It is not the washing away of the filth of the flesh, but in that a good conscience consenteth unto God: and only water bringeth not the Holy Ghost, for Simon received water, but would have given money for the Holy Ghost, and John had the Holy Ghost in his mothers womb before Baptism, and Cornelius, Paul the Queen of Candaces servant, with many others, received the holy Ghost before baptism: and although your generation have set at naught the word of God, and turned it upside down, yet must his Church keep the same order which he left them, which his Church dareth not break: and to judge children daed dying without baptism is wicked.
