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.

Certaine other Articles which were brought vnto IOHN HVS in Prison.
1 THE first Article, Paul, according to present Justice, was a Blasphemer, and none of the Church, and withal in Grace, according to Predestination of eternal life. Answer. This proposition is not in the Book, but thus: as Paul was both a blasphemer according to present Justice, and also a faithful child of our holy Mother the Church according to Predestination; So Iscariot was both in Grace according to present Justice, and withal, was never of our holy Mother the Church, because he lacked Predestination of life everlasting.
1 THE first Article, Paul, according to present Iustice, was a Blasphemer, and none of the Church, and withall in Grace, according to Predestination of eternall life. Answer. This proposition is not in the Booke, but thus: as Paul was both a blasphemer according to present Iustice, and also a faithfull child of our holy Mother the Church according to Predestination; So Iscariot was both in Grace according to present Iustice, and withall, was neuer of our holy Mother the Church, because he lacked Predestination of life euerlasting.
2 Christ doth more love a predestinate Ban being sinful, then any Reprobate, in what grace soever he be. Answer. The reason is, because the predestinate shall have perpetual blessedness, and the Reprobate eternal fire; therefore GOD infinitely loveth them both as his Creatures, and much more because he giveth them greater graces, to wit; everlasting life, which is far more excellent then only grace, according to present Justice; and the predestinated cannot fall from Grace, for they have a certain radical grace rooted in them, although they be deprived of the abundance of grace for the time.
