A94719	The snare broken: or light discovering darknesse. Being an answer to a book intituled, Foot yet in the snare; published by James Naylor. Wherein his treachery and back-sliding from the true faith is brought to light, and his untrodden paths discovered. With some of his divided language and deceitful lyes in short laid open, and his spirit proved to be the same which appeared in all the false prophets, who say the Lord saith, when he spake not unto them; plainly to be seen by the impartial eye, in all those whose eyes are in their head, least the wolfe should devoure the lamb, under a shadow of love to the truth. / By a lover of truth and peace, called, John Toldervy.	Toldervy, John.	1656 (1656)	Wing T1770; Thomason E865_7	27,522	30

my darkness as I have said it was and that it would have guided me out of the works of the flesh self-thoughts and imaginations and if the cause why I turned from that Light was my natural forward minde and resolutions as it was and so lead forth in obedience to a covenant of my own before the true light by which the Light of the Sun was darkned and a shape formed in the likeness of the true light whereby deceit got power to do those filthie things and if I was restored again by the true Light as I was and so guided in the obedience which is professed by you if these things are true as they are then let all unto whom thou appealest wherein there is the least measure of honestie judg righteouslie between us and see if that the blasphemie lies and slanders and abominable confusions which thou cast upon us be not in truth thy own who all along in thy book hath gone about to defile and slander the true Light of the spirit of God under a pretence of clearing the truth but receive thy own words as they are thine canst thou behold thy confusion and not be ashamed Dost thou scoff at me for calling my work the Foot out of the Snare and declare against it calling it the Foot in the Snare Art not thou ashamed at thy envie against the innocent Is this that innocencie of which thou boastest on hast thou not cast a stone at us but is it not falne back upon thy self Is this thy Foot in the Snare then consider thy work and see thy end for for that thou hast ensnared thy self and so receive thy own canst thou say and unsay accuse and excuse and all in one thing and yet witnesse all for truth who would have fed upon mischief like thee dost thou believe that all are so blinde as some who are led by you to believe all for truth that thou speakest without examination Or dost thou think that wisdome and light is whollie excluded as thou sayest and true judgment whollie respected then mightest thou think with thy words that thy lies and deceits might have passed without reproof and thou cover thy self therewith as with a garment but the Lord is risen and rising and the light is come and the day springing from on high is visiting his people and all works of darknesse must come to judgment and for those despised people of vvhom thou speakest vvho have none to take their part in the earth I refuse to appear in enmitie against them but for that I see you Builders have led them forth into bondage and have spoiled vvhat is their libertie have I spoken my vvord shall stand in truth But for Herod and Pilate I denie and all vvho are in their vvorship and that I ovvne vvhich is one in Spirit and Povver vvhich is no lie but that Lamb of God and his light whereof thou speakest in whom there is no sin and for the liar it is thy self witnesse the light in thy own conscience and divers thy own words which from that light thou wast constrained to speak in the justifying of that truth which appeared in me and with that light art thou comprehended by which thy ground and thy end is seen with the depth of thy own deceit and though we are strangers in spirit and enmitie is gotten in between us yet that arm of the Lord is seen whereof thou speakest gathering his sheep which have been scattered upon the mountains this cloudie dark day who restores the lame strengthens the feeble and carries the lambs in his bosome because they are his own glorie be to his Name for ever and as for worship adding to or altering from what was in his Saints by the same light in my measure which was in them I denie and also for those Vinedressers who stand up in defence of themselves against the heir who is coming to call for fruit whose Vineyard brings forth pride vain-glory and respect of persons love of the world and conformitie thereto creature worships and one which is not of God I say as for all such I denie and their worship neither have I pleaded in the least for them but for those and their fruits which are out of time out of the spirit of this world and as for greatnesse of rage in me against such whose lives are thus hid with Christ in God it hath not appeared in me neither dare I to appear in such a work for that I know there is a seed whose Name is perfection whichis risen and rising to utter his voice to the ends of the earth that he might establish his own Name for a light to his people Israel This do I see and know and for that cause do I rest silent and these are those of whom it is true they have lost their Kindred the pleasure of the earth and the delights therein is brought to their end they have seen a cessation of time and they are laid much lower then the lowest of men and for this cause are they worthy who follow the Lamb wheresoever he goeth and in his life they shall live yet such there are of whom thou art not known though not altogether but for the Potters of the earth they shall be dashed in pieces therefore Oh ye Sons of men Why will ye not turn to the Rock from whence ye were hewn and to that pit out of which ye were digged that ye might draw from thence the fresh Springs of that Fountain which giveth to his people eternal life I am a Fountain set open for sin and for uncleannesse come unto me all ye who are wearie and heavie laden that ye might be watered with the dew of heaven and ye shall finde rest for your soules my yoak is easie and my burthen is light but for such who are gathering together in a confederacie against my Name when my wrath is waxed hot I will arise in my furie and recompence you according to your work Thou beginnest in thy 31. page with a word to me discovering what I said to divers friends that I did put forth what I have done to clear the truth professed by you from many scandals cast upon it through my means and then savest thou that truth by you professed is a witness against me for ever that I have not sought to clear it but I have sought my own and also that I have caused the truth to be blasphemed above all that ever was before me in this Generation since the time of his appearance who is the Light of the world and for that end I have gone to consult with the greatest enemies to that truth professed by you that are in the Nation Now as touching all what thou hast here spoken I utterlie denie for did I so speak to friends my words are true for that I have spoken in much plainness to that end witnessed and proved by all what I have before spoken And whereas thou sayest that truth
