An embassage from the kings of the east to His Highness the Lord Protector of England, Scotland, and Ireland.

A Hint of some Texts we fain would be at, Col. 3. 11.

HE is all and in you all Christ is all in all, in and to himself and in the eye of the Father, and working of the Spirit; he is all and in all to his Saints, the last and present help and hope of si••ners he is the light, life and g••ory of the world, the image of the Father; the Son, Rock, Well, Water, Spring, Morning Star, light, life and comfort of the Saints; all in all to them in his Names and Titles, sweet Jesus, Lord Jesus, anointed Christ, God-Man, Man-God, Immanuel with and ••n us, Titles, King of, for, and in the Saints, to keep, save, help and deliver all Believers, from, sin, death, hell, flames, men, divels, dangers, grave, sting, curse and curses, Law, fears, bondage and captivity, yea, a Priest to pray day and night, he inter∣ceeds continually when we do, and cannot at the Throne of grace; if we live die or sin he is still our intercesso••, a Pro∣phet to us when we pray, preach, study, minde, think or me∣ditate; that is sweet, heaven comes down, soul goes up, world laid by, we dye, live and contemplate our God, but Christ is all in all, in health, sicknesse, wealth, plenty, want, poverty, all cases, of all kindes, whatsoever, yea, in life, and death, Christ is all, and he that hath him shall not, can∣not dye, nor lye long in the grave, John 11. 26. and it is dead whilst he lives, and shall live when he dyes, with, to, and before the throne of God and the Lamb, singing glory, praise, honour and salvation, Palmleaves, white Robes, throng of Angels, Rev. 7. 9. Wicked men dying so, curse, gnaw, cry, houl tear, damn, roar with, in and among, brim∣stone, pitch, rosin, worm, conscience, satire, scrich owle, divels fighting, flying, teeth gnashing, damned souls cry∣ing, altogether frying, for refusing Christ who is all in all, little pleasure, profit, stories, va••n glories, crownes, King∣domes, names, fames, capps, knees, bowings, melanchol∣ly musick, joyes, toyes, moments pleasure, earthly trea∣sures,

sweet meat, soure sa••e••: What is all to he, and and what is he to nothing? t'other nothing gets nothing, loses all for nothing. Oh Christ be my portion; what will all avail me when I come to dye, or a little thatch, he whose goods, wife, children are all burnt by a fire, their welfare thee lesse if thy soul misearry for want of this All.

This and these Texts we fain would be at.
