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.

The Pope wrote to the Bishops of Germany, that the Empire of Rome was translated from the Greeks to the Almains, so that the King of Almain could not be called Emperor▪ before he were crowned by the Pope. Before his consecration he was a King, after an Emperor: he hath the name of King by the Princes election, the name of Emperor, Augustus, and Caesar, by our consecration, ergo, by us he reigneth Emperor. Pope Zechariah promoted Carolus to the name of Emperor, after that▪ all the Kings of Almain were called Emperors,1 and Advocates to the Sea Apostolic. So that Apu•ia, conquered by him, was subject to the Pope; which Apuli•, with the city of Rom•, is ours, and not the Emperors. Our seat is at Rome, the Emperors at Aquis •n Ardenna, which is a wood in France. Whatsoever the Emperor hath, he hath of us: we may translate it to the Greeks again, as Zechariah did to the Almains, it lieth in our power to give it whom we will being set up of God above gentiles and Nations, to destroy, pluck up, build and plant.

Our seat is at Rome, the Emperours at Aquis n Ardenna, which is a wood in France. Whatsoeuer the Emperour hath, he hath of vs: wee may translate it to the Grees againe, as Zacharias did to the Almaines, it lyeth in our power to giue it whom we will being set vp of God aboue gentiles and Naions, to destroy, plucke vp, build and plant.
