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.

William Allen.
HE was a labouring man, sometimes Servant to John Houghton of Somerset, he was burned at Walsingham: he was imprisoned, for saying he would never follow the cross on procession. The Bishop bad him return unto the Catholic Church: he answered, he would turn unto the Catholic Church, but not to the Romish Church; and said, if he saw the King and Queen, and all other follow the Cross, and kneel down to the Cross, he would not.

HE was of Melford in Suffolk, a Shear-man, an aged Father: after his sundry conflicts with his Adversaries, he was burned at Yexford in Suffolk, for denying the Sacrament of the Altar, and when the Bishop said he must obey the King, whether his command agree with the word of God or no. He answered: If Sidrach, Misaach, and Abednego had done so, Nebuchadnezzar had not confessed the living Lord: and when the Bishop said he had charge of his Soul, he answered, if you go to the Devil for your sins, where shall I become.
