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.

Thorpe. One would know of me whether Priests, by the word of God, may curse ⟨p. 102⟩one for not paying of Tithes, Christ and his Apostles took no Tithes, nor commanded none so to do. Saint Paul saith, The Lord hath ordained, that they that Preach the Gospel, should live of the Gospel. And if Priests were now in measurable number, and lived virtuously, add ta•gh• busily and truly Gods word, without Tithes, […], and other du•ies, the people would give them sufficient livings. One of his Clerks said, How can that be, sluice by the Law, Priests can scarcely constrain the people to give them their Living?
