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

because_o of_o the_o tenderness_n that_o i_o have_v towards_o the_o pure_a in_o i_o for_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o desperate_a case_n i_o be_v in_o i_o be_v tender_a of_o every_o thing_n that_o i_o

of_o this_o speak_n in_o my_o mind_n and_o fly_v abroad_o of_o my_o thought_n i_o labour_v according_a to_o the_o teach_n of_o my_o own_o spirit_n to_o keep_v in_o my_o mind_n for_o the_o destroy_n
