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.

He was burned at Uxbridge, when he was come to the stake, he mightily comforted the people, and told them; he doubted not •ut God will show you some token that I die in a good cause: at length he being •ell-nigh half burned all black with fire, clustered together in a lump like a black ••le, all men thinking him dead, suddenly he arose upright, lifting up the stumps of his arms, clapping them together, declaring a rejoicing heart to them, and so di•d. He also wrote many godly Letters, as you may see in the Book more at la•ge.
