A94717 The foot out of the snare. Or, A restoration of the inhabitants of Zion into their place, after their bewildered and lost estate by the operation of a violent power, and authority, wrought in the author by the Prince of Darkness, under an appearance of the brightest light. Being a brief declaration of his entrance into that sect, called (by the name of) Quakers. With a short discourse relating what judgment he was learned in, by the ministry of those people. Together with the revelation of a spirit in himself. Also, what desperate delusions he was led into by yielding a subjection to the teachings of a seducing spirit in him under a shadow of the true light; and how this body of deceipt came to be destroyed. With the manner of his separation from them. / By me John Toldervy, then servant to Col. Webb. Toldervy, John. 1655 (1655) Wing T1767; Thomason E861_13; ESTC R206654 40,712 60

till_o the_o evening_n and_o also_o much_o necessitate_v i_o be_v move_v to_o eat_v before_o i_o go_v so_o have_v cut_v a_o piece_n of_o bread_n about_o a_o four_o part_n of_o a_o peny-loaf_n i_o

this_o spirit_n in_o i_o i_o be_v confident_o persuade_v that_o it_o be_v a_o messenger_n from_o god_n the_o life_n in_o he_o be_v believe_v to_o be_v of_o god_n and_o from_o that_o life_n be_v he_o

many_o thing_n be_v very_o certain_a that_o they_o be_v move_v by_o god_n in_o they_o to_o make_v know_v what_o be_v his_o will_n to_o i_o then_o when_o the_o company_n come_v i_o be_v command_v to_o

be_v scatter_v in_o the_o garden_n and_o lay_v they_o by_o themselves_o and_o the_o dry_a leaf_n that_o be_v under_o the_o tree_n by_o themselves_o and_o the_o small_a stone_n that_o be_v scatter_v in_o the_o walk_n by_o themselves_o and_o the_o piece_n of_o brick_n as_o i_o remember_v if_o not_o some_o suchlike_a by_o themselves_o now_o in_o the_o time_n of_o this_o service_n i_o give_v over_o
