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 Hus having read over Wycliffe's Books, concludeth by many infallible presumptions and reasons that he was no Heretic, but in the number of the saved, and that it was a foolish consequent, because the number of Prelates and Clergy in England, France, and Bohemia do count him for an Heretic, that therefore he is one: like is the reason for burning of his books, for in the first Chapter of the Book of Maccabees, they burned the Books of the Lord, and tore them, and whosoever was found to have or use them was put to death by the Kings commandment: if this argued the wickedness of the books, then the Law of God was wicked: so likewise of the burning of S. Gregory's books and of divers other good men, it followeth not because the Scribes and Pharisees condemned Christ as an Heretic, that therefore he was one, so John Chrysostom was twice condemned an Heretic by the Bishops and Clergy.
