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.

Cob. The Scripture maketh no mention of material bread, therefore my faith hath nothing to do therewith: but I say and believe, that it is Christs body and bread. Christ saith in the sixth of John, I am the living bread, and not the dead bread. Then all with one voice said, it is an heresy. And one of the Bishops said, it is an error manifest to say it is bread after the Sacramental words once spoken, but Christs body only. He said I am sure S. Paul was as wise and more learned then you be and in 1. Cor. 10. calleth it bread and not Christs body, but a means whereby we receive Christs body. They said; Paul must be otherwise expounded: for it is an heresy to say it is bread after the consecration. He asked how they could make that good? They answered, it is against the determination of holy Church.
