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.

After the Emperor and the Princes electors appointed a day when they and their army should invade the West part of Bohemia: and the Emperor with an other Host would enter the East part, and many Princes and Bishops came to ⟨p. 129⟩his aid: when the Emperor was entered Bohemia, Zisca although he was blind set upon him, and he being afraid and many of his Nobles slain fed: Zisca pursuing the Emperor a days journey, got great riches and spoil: The Emperor passing by a Bridge over a River, one Piso which had brought fifteen thousand horsemen out of Hungary to these wars passing over the Ice, which brake and devo red a great number: Zisca having obtained this victory would not suffer any Idol to be in the Churches, nor Priests to Minister in Copes and vestures: the Consuls of Prague being aggrieved at this, called John Premonstrensis, & nine others, which were principals of this faction into the Council house, as though they would confer, and slew them, but the blood of them seemed to be washed through the sinks and Channels: wherefore the Council house was overthrown, and eleven of the principal authors thereof slain, and divers houses spoiled.
