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

in the way the Instruments by whom this Redemption was to be wrought how it was to be done and where which was in the man c. Also that the Scripture was not the Word of God but it was what was spoken from the Word by the Word was meant Life and the Scriptures were a Declaration from this Word of Life the Word was the substance from whence it was spoken and this substance the Word of Life was the measure of God manifested in man the gift of the Holy Spirit manifested in flesh made known in all that thereby they might be guided to profit in that obedience required of God also by which all the disorder in the Creation of man made by the flouds poured forth in man in that time of God's displeasure occasioned by his fall from God into the Lust was to be put into the same order they were at the first which was good by which Word the mountains were to be leveled all hills were to be cast down and the valleys were to be exalted crooked places were to be made strait and rough wayes to be made smooth every thing was to stand in awe before him the lofty minde was to be pulled down and all high thoughts and imaginations were to be burned up and these things being not done by the Word in you the pure Witnesses of God lie slain in your streets the house of darkness the house of bondage those Cities which spiritually have a relation to Sodom and Egypt and I was sent by God to declare against that in you by which you are blinded and so the Witnesses kept slain expressing with a firm confidence that searching of the Scripture was not the way to finde out the knowledge of Christ but the turning the minde to within there to be taught by the measure of God the Law written in the heart and so standing in obedience to it in time death being passed over all that sinned Christ would be brought forth which sin reigned from Adam till Moses even over all that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression Adam the earthly nature in man which prevailed with him to be earthly minded to love the Mammon of unrighteousness which death reigned over the whole man till Moses the servant of God which gave the Law to the children of Israel the seed of the Faithful by which they were to be guided to the Angel of the Covenant Christ and so witness the perfection which to know saith God is life vvhich life was manifested in him and he savv it the onely Begotten of God and from vvhat he had seen felt heard and understood in himself that vve also might have fellovvship did he declare these things concluding with a strict Charge in the Name of the living God that we turn to him the Rock whence we were hewn as we respected our eternal peace bearing record that he the God of life stood waiting ready to receive all that turn to him and having your faces Sion-ward go on bearing your Crosses joyfully for his reward is with him and his work before him So after about an hours discourse in things of this nature all spoken with a firm confidence mighty powerfully declared with so much scriousness that possible could be supposed to be far beyond whatever I saw by any man and using those words Thee and Thou barren of any Complement or whatever might be taken in them to please man they departed Now upon the consideration of divers things also the strong Ingagement laid upon us as we tendered our eternal happiness together with that bold undaunted confidence he had in the Truth of what was spoken all my former Knowledge my former Belief my former Hope being struck with a great Fear was immediately dashed in pieces they being taken to be earthen Vessels made by the Wisdom which was begotten of the * Self for the justifying of Self earthly Man and then coming to understand that they were of those People called by the name of Quakers together with what formerly I knew of them I became strongly affected with them divers also of the same Meeting at the same time being possess'd with the like perswasions Whereupon much love acted me to follow them very zealously but in order to a more perfect clearing of my understanding I remained a time before I complied with them or made my self known to any one of them in which time meeting with one whom I formerly knew to be a very serious true-hearted Man who was converted to their Belief and also subjected to their Obedience who gave me to understand that they were sent forth to preach the Gospel by the same Christ that the Apostles were and that the Person that Son of God which died at Ierusalem was not the Redeemer of Man from Sin but the Redeemer was in every particular Man that Light by which he was given to see Sin and enabled by it if obeyed to be redeemed from Sin which Christ had redeemed them perfect and now lived in them Lord of all things by which they were made the Sons of God and so what was manifested unto them by that substance from that substance were they moved to speak which was the same Holy Ghost by which the Apostles were endued sent forth enabled to preach the Gospel and declaring of them much to admiration how that sometimes in the night they were immediately commanded by the eternal Spirit to go forth and preach the Gospel also by the like command some of them were limited to fast from Food as I remember about twenty or more dayes together * And afterwards I knew

former but especially the powerful operation of their Prayer all which effectually wrought upon me whereupon my minde being established I was moved to make a confession of my self concluding with the owning of them in the presence of all the people upon which I became subject to the teachings of a Spirit in my self the which being believed to be the Christ of God the Redeemer from sin I was fully
