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.

2 The Pope being a Reprobate, is not head of the Church. Answer. I would know of the Doctor how this is contrary to Faith? Did not Christ dispute against the Faith, when he demanded of the Scribes and Pharisees. Math. 12. You off-spring of Vipers, how can you speak good things when your selves are wicked. I demand of the Scribes, if the Pope be a Reprobate, and the stock of Vipers, how is he head of the holy Church? for it is more possible that a Reprobate may speak good things, being he may be in the state of grace according to present Justice, then to •e the head of the holy Church: In the fifth of John Christ saith, How can you believe which seek glory amongst your selves, and seeketh not the glory that cometh of God: And I demand how the Pope can be head of the Church which is a Reprobate, and receiveth the glory of the world, and seeketh not for the glory that cometh of God, for it is more possible he should believe so doing, then be head of the Church.

Did not Christ dispute against the Faith, when he demanded of the Scribes and Pharisies. Math. 12. You off-spring of Vipers, how can you speak good things when your selues are wicked. I demand of the Scribes, if the Pope be a Reprobate, and the stock of Uipers, how is he head of the holy Church? for it is more possible that a Reprobate may speake good things, being he may be in the state of grace according to present Iustice, then to •e the head of the holy Church: In the fift of Iohn Christ saith, How can you beleeue which seeke glory amongst your selues, and seeketh not the glory that commeth of God: And I demand how the Pope can be head of the Church which is a Reprobate, and receiueth the glory of the world, and séeketh not for the glory that commeth of God, for it is more possible he should beléeue so doing, then be head of the Church.
