7. Consider, the Devils, and all other Enemies, tho never so potent, cruel, and malicious, yet they are all conquered and spoiled:1 Having spoiled Principalities and Powers, he made a Show of them openly, triumphing over them in it. The Romans were wont in a triumphant manner to carry those they had conquered about with them, and to brandish their Swords, and display their Colours, and carry their Arms in open View, as Trophies and Emblems of Victory: So the Lord Jesus, having conquered Satan, and the Powers of Hell, rode as it were in Triumph through their Kingdom, (the Air) and made a Show of them openly, as a glorious Victor. 2. Again, the World is subdued: Be of good cheer, saith Christ,2 I have overcome the World. And we through him are hereby made more than Conquerors. Come Tribulation, Distress, Persecution, &c. with all their Blackness, Darkness, Threats, and Terror; what will they do? Who shall separate us from the Love of Christ? 3or hinder us of eternal Life. 3. Death is subdued, Christ hath got the Victory over that. What Joy and Comfort is this to Believers, to hear that all their Enemies are conquered; your Captain-General hath broken them all to pieces.
