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.

Bonner. By my troth Master speaker, you shall preach at a stake: Then I said, well sworn my Lord, you keep a good watch; he said, well Master Controller I am no Saint.

Smith. No my Lord, nor yet a good Bishop: a Bishop saith Saint Paul, Should be faultless, and a dedicate vessel to God: and are you not ashamed to sit in judgment, and be a blasphemer, condemning Innocents. My Lord Mayor, I would require you in Gods Name, that I may have Justice: we are hear to day a great many of Innocents, wrongfully accused of heresy. I require but the favour that Festus and Agrippa, Heathen men, showed to the Apostle, which gave him leave to speak for himself, and heard the probation of his cause: then the Lord Mayor hanging down his head, said nothing.

Bonner. Thou shalt preach at a stake, and so Sheriff Woodroffe cried with the Bishop, away with them. Thus came I in four tim•• before them, desiring Justice to be heard, but could have none: at length, my Friends required with on voice the same, and could not have it, so we were condemned, because they all ten held the same opinions in effect.
