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

but of the devil and let such who are found in the practise of them see if the same spirit be not the ground of their practise yet do I not judge for judgement is committed to the Son whose light is in you all but for pride and excess I rest silent directing that moderation might be our guide and for a moderation in all those things I find not the spirit of God any where witness against But thou sayest I am a Judas for that I have betrayed thy Light and so I cannot see being over-shadowed with darkness Wel is it so am I a Judas then it is unto thee for that what I have betrayed is thy Light if then this thy Light be darkness my work is true yet however thy Light as touching what we have before spoken is darkness to mine and for that I have done and do my conscience beareth me witness in the sight of God which otherwise were I a Judas a burden would rest upon me but know this I have seene the end of things and have learned to cease from man and if for these things thou smitest at us because I call my work The Foot out of the Snare or a restoration of the Inhabitants of Zion into their place then is it that truth is ceased for it is not that Zion the Citie of the Lord was laine wast and the inhabitants thereof dispersed to the ends of the earth was not the Mountain of the house of the Lord laid low and the inhabitable parts of Jerusalem made desolate yea surelie and a great crie and lamentation there was for the desolation of her people but now the everlasting Father of love in time hath made known his power by which deliverance hath been wrought for his Name sake praises praises to his name for ever And as touching those things before spoken I have given in my witness alreadie they are no snare unto me yet do I not boast in them for that I know much temptation attends upon them therefore I direct to all as I have done before wait for a moderation for the righteous Judge is in his work and by your deeds you must be proved and not by words and your reward shall be accordinglie Thou goest forwards speaking of the restoration of that whereof I say was immutable and when thou hast so done thou sayest we condemn that spirit and way which caused the restitution and so thou goest on passing judgement upon us for what thou hast conceived with thy own feigned imaginations turn over and read once more what I have spoken and see if truth doth not speak plainlie its own meaning and for that thou sayest here are the two spirits we tell on which were contrarie to the other it is true here they are the effects of the one and the effects of the other but as touching that spirit which guided me in the denial of the spirit of meekness and so in the exalted spirit following my damned imaginations if thou canst see what plain words speak I have not cast them upon you but the waie by which I became possessed I have declared the end of which is a warning to others to speak in the spirit of truth deny me if thou canst and whereas thou sayest this thing being so speaking of my delusion I was by you denied I say as to my person thy words are not witnessed by what is before spoken but as touching the deluded spirit read my words in the close of my relation and thereby rest silent for truth hath spoken by which truth is set free In thy 19. page thou repeatest my words where I say that a short time after my compliance with that spirit which entred into me by the observation of your practise and then thou goest back to my second page and there in thy deceit thou borrowest a composed lie of thy own to witness against this truth before spoken but this lie is before laid open and for that I said the entrance of this unclean spirit was by the observation of your practise which practise you declare to be from the spirit it is true I say the entrance was so for the first entrance and work of deceit in me after I came amongst you was my taking up of divers your practises in the imitation the manner of which deceit I have in its place laid open but as touching those things thou hast related as the effects of this my saying I denie neither hast thou any ground or reason for what thou hast declared but herein thou shewest thy busie minde as one loving to pick quarrels and watching to lay a snare before the truth but now receive thy words as thy own O thou shameless man behold amongst men who would have judged like unto thee But to prove thy work of seeking to bring me into a confusion after thou hast discovered thy vain minde in thy own by-waie thou comest in thy 21. page to relate my words which speaks of my hastie forward minde and my own resolved Covenant by which in the fire of my zeal I was hastilie carried forth before the true Light c. which things are true and thy own confusion being laid open thou mayest read them so to be for this hastie forward mind and this resolved Covenant in this fire of zeal was that by which I was overcome and so took up things in the imitation by which was received in that deluded spirit of which I have spoken and so by degrees carried on as I have said for a warning to others that they also come not in the same excess and yet how is it thou canst appear in such a witness as to declare that what I have done is the work of the devil Thou goest on forwards with thy slanderous tongue in this thy false designe and then in the close of this page thou sayest I confess that when I came to the place where the Quakers were shewing the holes I made in my thumbs and telling of those Lying-Wonders which I had been acting many of the Quakers being there all of them judged me with one consent c. and then sayest thou in my 51. page I confess I was restored to a right understanding and my life became a clear light being guided in that obedience which was professed by those people And then sayest thou all this being my own confession yet I charge it upon a spirit which entred in me by the observation of your practise and so thou goest on with thy refuge of lies and then ask if ever such a heap of confusion and falshood was uttered and signed for truth c. but those things being cleared alreadie I shall let them pass onelie thou speakest here of lying-wonders which either discovers thy meaning that what I have related are lies otherwise they are the works of a lie wrought and witnessed in me by that deluded Spirit which led me forth in obedience to them now if thy meaning be thus then is thy
