In this victorie, there are three things. First, there is a conquering of the assaults of the world, so as they can doe us no hurt, bnt wee are able to repell the force of them.

But this is not all, there is something further: namely the making use of those things of the world for our good, that would have undone us, that is a full victory, where the enemies do not only resist and break back, but he brings the conquered into bondage, so as now he is able to use the adversary to serve his own turn: so in this conquest of faith, there is not only an overcoming of the temptations, of the pleasures of the ⟨p. 184⟩world, but ability to use them for God, and the furtherance of our own good. And so in riches and honours: Conquerors do not use to put to the sword and destroy all they conquer, but they bring them into bondage, to be serviceable to them.
