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 Nunnery of Shaftesbury, by the said Aluredus, the same year; so you see that ⟨p. 30⟩Monasteries began to be founded by the Saxon kings, within 200. years after they were converted; these had a zeal, but they lacked the true Doctrine of Christ, especially that Article of free Justification by Faith▪ of Jesus Christ: for lack whereof▪ as well the builders, as they that were possessed in the same, have both run the wrong way, and been deceived: for so much as they did these things seeking thereby merits with God, remedy for •heir souls, and remission of sins, as doth appear, testified in their own Records, besides the 7. or 8.
