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.

There was so many Christian Martyrs, in all parts of the world, whereof a great number were compassed in with craft and deceit: some were poisoned, others tormented with torments, many oppressed with private and unknown deaths, others dyed in prison, some by famine, some by other means were openly and privately destroyed, that it is scarcely possible to attain to the knowledge of a small number of them: or if I happen to attain to the knowledge of the names of them, yet I can not find out the manner of the execution of them, and their causes, no one man is able to do it, but by the example of some of them, you may easily Judge what hath happened to all: for the cruelty of Bishops have been alike against them, and the form of their Judgements all one: the reason of their condemnation agreeing, and the order and kind of their death.
