A94718	The naked truth laid open, against vvhat is amiss: or, may be mis-interpreted, in those two bookes: the one, entituled, The foot out of the snare; and the other, The snare broken. Together with a word of invitation to all who are estranged to the true faith, that they would hear and receive the word of truth, which makes free the Israel of God. / Set forth by me John Toldervy.

extent_n of_o which_o deed_n i_o see_v as_o to_o i_o little_a evil_n in_o for_o that_o i_o have_v discover_v my_o witness_n according_a as_o i_o have_v before_o relate_v in_o which_o if_o well_o

i_o be_v therein_o satisfy_v and_o so_o direct_v in_o a_o dirtle_n anger_n against_o the_o person_n james_n naylor_n though_o at_o the_o present_a i_o think_v i_o be_v guide_v therein_o by_o

which_o the_o thing_n itself_o do_v condemn_v and_o thus_o through_o my_o vanity_n we_o all_o become_v secret_a smiter_n against_o the_o truth_n which_o thing_n be_v make_v know_v i_o can_v do_v no_o

therein_o but_o where_o the_o blame_n be_v my_o due_n i_o must_v receive_v it_o from_o all_o as_o my_o due_n and_o therein_o rest_v silent_a and_o for_o that_o deed_n of_o engage_v the_o minister_n i_o be_o sorry_a as_o i_o have_v say_v that_o i_o shall_v be_v so_o foolish_o lead_v forth_o as_o i_o be_v therein_o both_o in_o respect_n to_o they_o and_o also_o to_o the_o thing_n in_o hand_n by_o which_o my_o whole_a purpose_n have_v appear_v something_o in_o obscurity_n general_o become_v void_a and_o so_o deceive_v myself_o and_o they_o also_o but_o now_o i_o will_v free_o speak_v my_o

plainness_n as_o i_o have_v receive_v therefore_o my_o desire_n be_v that_o none_o will_v receive_v to_o themselves_o any_o offence_n in_o this_o work_n but_o if_o in_o any_o as_o i_o have_v before_o say_v in_o what_o former_o i_o have_v do_v for_o very_o as_o i_o have_v speak_v oftentime_o i_o be_v diligent_a in_o seek_v in_o those_o way_n which_o the_o prime_a professor_n of_o these_o time_n who_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o letter_n be_v guide_v in_o i_o run_v from_o one_o to_o another_o from_o mountain_n to_o hill_n i_o seek_v to_o find_v but_o can_v not_o only_o i_o increase_v in_o wisdom_n the_o work_n of_o my_o own_o labour_n and_o this_o wisdom_n be_v of_o the_o flesh_n be_v pleasant_a and_o delightful_a and_o so_o i_o think_v it_o be_v the_o mystery_n of_o the_o spirit_n but_o yet_o still_o this_o wisdom_n be_v unto_o i_o but_o little_a satisfaction_n though_o i_o labour_v very_o strict_o in_o obedience_n to_o what_o i_o have_v learn_v from_o the_o law_n of_o the_o letter_n which_o be_v the_o end_n of_o that_o ministry_n by_o which_o i_o be_v guide_v for_o there_o be_v something_o yet_o in_o i_o that_o be_v unsatisfied_a which_o lie_v under_o a_o great_a burden_n which_o all_o the_o wisdom_n and_o knowledge_n in_o myself_o and_o in_o those_o my_o learner_n be_v not_o in_o the_o least_o able_a to_o satisfy_v yet_o in_o that_o time_n i_o can_v not_o see_v the_o cause_n of_o these_o thing_n but_o when_o after_o i_o come_v to_o hear_v those_o people_n who_o be_v call_v of_o man_n quaker_n in_o a_o short_a time_n i_o be_v clear_o convince_v and_o give_v to_o see_v the_o end_n of_o all_o my_o former_a labour_n and_o the_o cause_n of_o my_o trouble_a spirit_n for_o they_o be_v redeem_v out_o of_o the_o wisdom_n out_o of_o the_o imagination_n of_o the_o brain_n which_o be_v sensual_a and_o of_o the_o flesh_n etc._n etc._n they_o speak_v by_o and_o from_o that_o spirit_n of_o life_n in_o they_o by_o which_o they_o be_v redeem_v and_o so_o their_o word_n be_v from_o the_o life_n reach_v to_o the_o life_n the_o seed_n of_o the_o righteous_a which_o lie_v under_o the_o dark_a mind_n burden_v and_o groan_v for_o a_o deliverance_n and_o here_o be_v that_o mystery_n that_o be_v of_o god_n which_o minister_v to_o the_o spirit_n in_o prison_n which_o be_v make_v know_v i_o be_v not_o in_o the_o least_o able_a to_o gainsay_v and_o then_o i_o see_v indeed_o that_o word_n of_o faith_n which_o reveal_v the_o everlasting_a gospel_n to_o be_v near_o in_o the_o mouth_n and_o in_o the_o heart_n and_o that_o circumcision_n which_o be_v of_o god_n be_v of_o the_o heart_n in_o the_o spirit_n and_o not_o in_o the_o letter_n who_o praise_n be_v not_o of_o man_n but_o of_o god_n but_o now_o for_o any_o to_o judge_v that_o all_o or_o any_o of_o those_o distraction_n and_o work_n of_o deceit_n which_o be_v delcare_v by_o i_o as_o the_o effect_n of_o my_o disobedience_n to_o the_o light_n i_o say_v for_o any_o to_o judge_v of_o they_o otherwise_o than_o they_o be_v and_o to_o cast_v they_o as_o a_o reproach_n upon_o the_o light_n it_o be_v vain_a and_o evil_a and_o a_o thing_n contrary_n to_o my_o whole_a mind_n for_o that_o as_o i_o have_v speak_v i_o dare_v not_o neither_o can_v i_o say_v but_o that_o the_o whole_a cause_n of_o all_o those_o evil_n be_v of_o myself_o but_o though_o my_o suffering_n be_v great_a when_o after_o i_o come_v in_o this_o way_n yet_o i_o see_v much_o good_a be_v the_o end_n

of_o all_o peace_n and_o rest_n in_o spirit_n according_a to_o the_o measure_n of_o grace_n receive_v which_o i_o never_o can_v see_v or_o attain_v unto_o by_o all_o those_o mean_n and_o in_o all_o those_o way_n which_o former_o i_o be_v lead_v forth_o in_o but_o to_o speak_v in_o truth_n that_o the_o just_a may_v receive_v its_o own_o wherein_o i_o have_v at_o any_o time_n with-drawn_a from_o that_o grace_n i_o then_o live_v in_o therein_o i_o have_v refuse_v the_o good_a and_o choose_v the_o evil_a which_o work_v i_o must_v acknowledge_v as_o the_o work_n of_o myself_o in_o the_o hour_n of_o judgement_n and_o now_o i_o hope_v that_o none_o will_v judge_v of_o i_o as_o a_o offence_n to_o the_o law_n of_o righteousness_n but_o as_o one_o that_o establish_v the_o law_n in_o

for_o so_o do_v cast_v upon_o he_o as_o due_a unto_o myself_o and_o do_v i_o in_o displeasure_n call_v he_o a_o false_a prophet_n corruption_n and_o a_o body_n of_o deceit_n etc._n etc._n i_o must_v
