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

of_o god_n and_o they_o be_v profitable_a to_o the_o edify_n of_o all_o under_o what_o estare_fw-la or_o condition_n soever_o but_o the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v in_o part_n make_v manifest_a in_o all_o not_o only_o by_o what_o have_v be_v learned_a from_o that_o discovery_n of_o truth_n in_o the_o scripture_n but_o where_o the_o scripture_n be_v not_o and_o by_o this_o invisible_a law_n
