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.

Lat. There is diversity betwixt things pertaining to God or Faith, and politic and civill matters: for in the first we must stand only to the scriptures, which are able to make us perfect unto salvation: if by study and prayer we understand them, and the most prudent men of the world are least apt to understand them: but in civill matters being we know not otherwise how to maintain common peace and quiet, they do ordain that the most part shall take place.

Anto. It is perilous to attempt any new thing in the Church, unto which the example of the Prophets, of Christ, and of the Apostles, are contrary: for in their time all things were most corrupt, the people were miserably given to superstition, the Priests despised the law of God, yet we never read that the Prophets made any schisms, and Christ haunted the Temples and taught in them daily, Peter and John went into the Temple at the ninth hour of prayer, Paul after the reading of the law desired to say some thing unto the people: neither Christ nor his Apostles did refuse to pray with others, to sacrifice or be partaker of Moses law.
