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.

The second question was, whether after consecration of the sacrament of the Altar there did remain any substance of bread and wine: to that they answered, there was such a change in the bread and wine, as no man but God can make, being the bread had that dignity to exhibit Christs body, yet the bread is still bread, and the ⟨p. 303⟩wine still wine, for the change is not in the nature but in the dignity, because that which was common bread hath the dignity to exhibit Christs body, for now it is an holy bread sanctified by Gods word.

The third question was, whether the mass were a lively and propitiatory sacrifice for them alive, and for them that be dead: this article they denied to be true, because Christ made one perfect sacrifice for the whole world; neither can the Priests offer up Christ again for the sins of man; neither is there any propitiation for our sins, but his Cross only. And because neither for fear nor flattery they could be made to recant, at their second sitting they were condemned, degraded, and delivered to the secular power.
