Beloved marks and scars

The warrior of light remembers a passage from John Bunyan:

'Althoug i have been throug all that i have, i do not regret the many hardships i met, because it was they who brought me to the place i wished to reach. Now all i have is this sword and i give it to whomever wishes to continue his pilgrimage. I carry with of the marks and scars of battles - they are the witnesses of what i suffered and the rewards of what i conquered... But now i live because i an a warrior and because i wish one day to be in the company of him for whom i have fought so hard.'

This quote from John Bunyan happens to be my favourite! can you tell me in which book by Bunyan I can find it? I tried finding it also in the manual of the warrior of light, but it does not seem to be there?
Thanks!
