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.

One affirmed he heard sundry things of the Bohemians offensive to Christian ears: one of them was, that they should preach that the invention of begging Friars was diabolical. Then Procopius said, it is not untrue: for if neither Moses, nor the Patriarchs before him, nor after him the Prophets, nor in the new Law Christ nor his Apostles, did institute the orders of begging Friars, who doubteth but the Devils invented them, and that they are the work of darkness, all the Council derided him, and Cardinal Julianus laboured to prove that not only the Decrees of the Patriarchs, Prophets, Christ and his Apostles: but also the Decrees which the Church should ordain to be the works of God; yet the order of begging Fryers may seem to be taken out of some part of the Gospel: the Bohemians chose four Ministers to dispute for them, and the Council chose four, the disputation continued fifty days, many things were alleged on both parts, which we will discourse more at large when we come to the Council of Basil.
