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.

Ridley. It is true, that where so many be gathered together in Christs name, it is not credible, but two or three be gathered together in his name, but if there be an hundred good, & two h•ndreth bad, being the Decrees & Ordinances go according to most voices, what can the less number of voices prevail: It is a common proverb, often the greater part overcometh the better: but it is impossible that any such Council of good men allowed such a Mass as ours was of late, in a strange tongue, and stuffed with so many absurdities, errors, and superstitions: for as there is no agreement betwixt light and darkness, Christ and Belial: so superstition and sincere religion, will-worship, and pure worship in spirit and truth, can never agree together.
