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.

Allured, 1otherwise called Alfride, his brother succeeded him; in the second Mon•t• that he was made King, he gave the Danes a battle besides Wilton, but he was put to the worst; yet the Danes did agree with him to depart out of Westsax, and re ned from Reding to London, and abode there all that winter: the number of the Danes were so increased, as it is written of them, that in one day 3000. of them were slain, shortly after they increased double as many.
