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.

10 It is lawful to preach notwithstanding the Popes inhibition. Answer. The Article is evident, because the Apostles did preach contrary to the commandment of the Bishop. And S. Hilary did the like, contrary to a Pope that was an Arian: and Cardinals, contrary to the commandment of Pope Gregory the 12. sent throughout all Realms such as should preach against him.

11 If the Popes commandment be not agreeable to the word of God, it is not to be obeyed. Answer. S. Isidore saith, He that ruleth and commands any thing contrary, or besides the word of God, he is honoured as a false witness, and a Church-Robber; therefore we are bound to obey no Prelate, but in case he commands the commandments of Christ. And Saint Augustine speaking of the Chair of Moses, saith; They teach in the Chair of Moses the Law of God, therefore God teacheth by them: but if they will teach you any of their own inventions, hear them not, neither do as they command you; let therefore my Adversaries and Slanderers learn, that there be not only twelve Counsels in the Gospel, but as many Counsels as there be Commandments of God binding us thereunto, under the pain of deadly sin.
