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.

JOHN PHILPOT.
IOHN PHILPOT.
He was Sir Peter Philpots son in Hampshire, brought up in new College in Oxford: going from Oxford into Italy, coming from Venice to Padua he was in danger through a Franciscan Friar accompanying him in his journey, who coming to Padua accused him of heresy. In King Edwards time he had divers conflicts with Gardner Bishop of Winchester: after he was made Archdeacon of Winchester, where he continued during King Edwards time, to no small profit of those parts: in Queen Mary's time he being one of the Convocation, with a few other sustained the cause of the Gospel manfully against the adversary part, as is before recited, wherefore he was called to account before Gardner, and examined by him, and then he was removed to Bonner and other Commissioners, with whom he had divers conflicts, as in his examinations hereafter following ⟨p. 305⟩may appear, when he had lien a year and a half in the Marshalsea, being twice examined, but no point of Religion handled: then he was committed to the Bishop of London's Cole-house, where he found a married Priest of Essex named Thomas Whittle, This Minister greatly lamented his own infirmity, for that through imprisonment he was constrained by writing to yield to the Bishop of London, and was set at liberty, and after felt such an hell in his conscience that he could scarce refrain from destroying himself, and could not be at quiet until he having got the Bishops register to see his Bill, he tore it in pieces, and after he was as joyful a man as any could be: When Boner heard thereof be sent for him, and buffeted him, and plucked off a piece of his Beard, but now he is joyful under the cross.
