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. With all the poysoned doctrins wherewith that great redde dragon hath made drunken the kings and inhabitants of the earth; with the confutations of them together with all his trayterous practises and designes, against all Christian princes to this day, especially against our late Queen Elizabeth of famous memorie, and our most religious Soueraigne Lord King Iames. Faithfully abstracted out of the Book of martyrs, and diuers other books. By Thomas Mason preacher of Gods Word.

Doctor Lopez, Stephano de Ferrera de Gama, Manuell Lewis Tyuaco Portugalls.

DOctor Lopez was fauourably receiued into the Quéens house a long time, as one of her physitians, the other two were Portugalls lately receiued to the ser∣uice of the King of Spain, yet colourably resorting into this Realme.

Lopez confessed that hee was of late yeares allured secretly to doe seruice vnto the King of Spaine, and from one of his Priuie Councell he receiued a Iewell of gold of good value, garnished with a large Diamond and a large Rubie, and after∣ward he assented to take away the Qu••••ns life by poysoning, vpon reward promi∣sed him of fifty thousand crownes, for which purpose hee sent a messenger ouer to

Callice to confer with the Count ••uents for this practise, and that after he sent an other messenger vnto Ibarra, the King of Spaines Secretary, and to the said Count Fuentes, promising to poison the Queene, if ••hee might haue the fifty thousand crownes that were offered deliuered vnto him: and he confessed the other two were his messengers: in the aforesaid messages, and conspired with him to execute the same: and they all confessed, that the stay that it was not done, proceeded much against their mindes, for want of the deliuerie of the said fifty thousand crownes, which was promised by a day: But the King of Spaine finding fault that the mes∣senger, which should carry the money, was too base a fellow to be trusted w••••h so much deferred the sending thereof: but after billes of Exchange were deli∣uered by the Count Fuentes, for the money, by the direction of the King of Spaine, at the very instant when it should haue been done, it pleased God of his goodnesse towards her Maiestie, to suffer this conspiracie to be very happily di••couered by the diligence of one of the Lords of her Maiesties Priuy Councell: so all the thrée offenders were taken with their Letters and writings, expressing their owne ac∣tions and Councels, and the directions of the King of Spaines Councellors, and the other two confessed the like in effect, as Lopez had done: wherevpon they were all three condemned for treason, and executed accordingly.

Manuel Lewis, repented at his death, and prayed God that all those things that are atchieued by the King of Spa••ne, against the Quéenes Maiestie, might take none effect, and that all the treasons which are wrought may bee discouered, & that God would prolong the life of the Quéenes Maiestie, as shee deserueth, and her faithfull subiects desire.
