We see it is our duty not only to worship God with outward worship of the body,1 but with inward worship in the soul, mind, will, affections, and in the conscience. Paul he preached the Gospel of God unto the the Corinthians,2 to bring their very thoughts into subjection: that is, so to order them, that they might not think any thing but that which was holy and according to the will of God.

Then the devil left him, 1&c.] In this verse ⟨p. 125⟩is set down the third and last part of the conflicts of Christ with the devil: namely, the issue and event of them, which is that glorious victory and conquest which our Saviour Jesus Christ got against the devil. And this is the most principal part of all the rest. For what comfort could we have had in Christs temptations, in the preparation, in the conflicts & several temptations, unless Christ had vanquished Satan, and got the victory? Nay all the comfort of Gods children stands in this victory of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ: because now Christ stood in our stead, and was tempted for our sakes: so that he being our head, and getting victory over the devil, the Church & every member of the Church in Jesus Christ, got victory over Satan.
