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.

About this time, the detestable sect of Mahomet began to take place, which well agrees with the number of that beast signified in the Revelation 666.1 Of Mahomet came the Kingdom of the Haarines, now called Saracens, to whom he gave many Laws: they must pray Southward, Friday is their Sunday, called the day of Venus, he permitted them to have as many Wives as they were able to maintain, and as many Concubines as they list: they must abstain from wine, except on solemn days: •hey were to worship one only God Omnipotent. Moses and the Prophets were great▪ but Christ was greatest, being borne without mans seed, and taken up into the Heaven, with many such Laws; at length the Saracens were wholly conquered by the Turks.
