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

dream_n that_o the_o chamber-floor_n sink_v under_o i_o and_o that_o i_o be_v loose_v down_o upon_o those_o board_n that_o sink_v under_o i_o through_o the_o board_n of_o every_o chamber_n till_o i_o

now_o this_o persuasion_n be_v firm_o wrought_v in_o i_o that_o do_v i_o not_o obey_v this_o command_n i_o shall_v be_v eternal_o damn_v i_o go_v speedy_o close_a to_o the_o fire_n and_o there_o
