The Tree of life and Well of life both make Red Cross stronger as he is battling a dragon. each time he leaves from them, he has a replenished strength, make enables him to fight, and eventually beat the dragon.
Red Cross is supposed to be a representation of England. When fighting the Dragon, a hot piece of coal falls under Red Cross's armor, burning him, and making his armor heat up like a oven. This piece of hot coal shows that something so little can cause a great impact over England.
The Dragon is the opposing force against England, which can easily represent satan, or the devil. Each time Red Cross falls into the well, of into the tree, they restore him. These both represent the Christ figure, and how he saves us from sin.
What spencer is saying with this battle is to show that if England has Christ, and the true church, they are unstoppable against Satan, and Sin.
