A89839	Foot yet in the snare: though the beast hath healed his wound, and now pretends liberty, but is fallen into the trap of the priests, receiving their testimony to beare it up, who are in the pit themselves, thereby giving them occasion to insult against the truth, as the beast and the false prophet hath alwaies joyned against the lamb. Discovered in an answer to Iohn Toldervy, Matthew Pool, VVilliam Jenkin, John Tombs, John Goodwin, VVilliam Adderley, George Cockain, Thomas Jacomb, and Thomas Brooks, who under a pretence of love to the truth, have gone about to devour it, and cover it with reproach. Wherein their crooked wayes, their confusions and contradictions is traced and laid open, and their spirit tryed to bee the same which joyned Judas and the chief priests, and their false witnesses against the heir at his appearance; so those have joyned testimony to the truth, of a lying book, which by their own confession they never read over. With something of their false testimony is short laid open, lest simple minds should bee led with a lye through the fame of the forgers. / By one who loves the soul, but hates the sin, called, James Naylor.

Poole who are joyned together that with the light of Christ you might take notice against whom you are joyned and what work it is you are joyned in which is to bear witness unto lyes and confusions and lying wonders which you never saw nor heard as by your own confession who say some of you have but perused a part of the thing to which you are witnesses and have but the things by hear say and that from one possest with a deluded Spirit wherein you shew your envie and rashness and want of discretion and therefore are found falsifying your own words in your book and so have ensnared your selves in your own wickedness and this you call The foot out of the Snare and so your work is begun with a lie and so carried on who in your title-page tell of the manner of his separation from the Quakers which is false for those you call Quakers did separate from him and denie him both in word and writing because of his following a bewitched Spirit and would not be reclaimed by them who oft reproved him and judged him for it with one consent as you afterward confess in your book page 38. and in other places of your book also As in your title-page also you tell of what judgement he was learned in by the Ministrie of those people and so bear witness you know not to what for both you and he are yet unlearned in the judgement and Ministrie of those you call Quakers whose judgement and ministrie is not to be led by vain customes and imaginations out of the truth as you are and are witnesses that he was as in your book is declared In your Epistle you say the subject matter of your discourse relates principallie to the persons who go under the name of Quakers and you confess that many have abused the truth by seeking to defend themselves in that deceit which the Spirit which is of God in those you call Quakers hath witnessed against by which you say the generalitie of men are through their misguided spirits alreadie beyond measure bitterly incensed against them to which I say let your practise judge you as to the work in hand in seeking to defend your selves in that deceit which the spirit of God in us hath witnessed

took it falslie So all may see who love truth and honestie what Spirit and waie you are engaged against for that spirit which took the money before was not that which forced the restoration neither was that which pull'd off the pride the same that put it on again and pleads for it these two are contrary as much as between the just and the unjust a true man and a thief God and the Devill and you being forced to confess this thing to his praise by whose spirit he was moved thereunto you have thrust it in amongst his deceits to render it odious as a work of the spirit of the devill but that is your deceit who would blind the works of God by mixing them among the works of the Devill The children of Light see you for that spirit we own which caused him to make restitution which caused him to cast awaie his pride and heathenish customes creature-worships and respect of persons and brought him into the form of sound words but that spirit we condemn which took the money hath put on the pride denied the faith and run into respect of persons and we see that to be it which led him into the Witchcrafts for Thieving Witchcraft Pride and Idolatrie are all of one Spirit and that spirit was condemned by those who believed the Apostses Doctrine who confessed their sins burned their books and made restitution And here are the two spirits you tell on which were in him the one contrarie to the other but when he denyed the Spirit of meekness which condemns the thief and the pride then the other Spirit exalted and led him to follow his damn'd imaginations having denied the Light and Spirit of Peace joyned to the proud exalted and deceitfull Spirit God in judgement gave him up to the Spirit of Delusion which being seen he was by us denied and his spirit also as is very well known both to himself and divers more And all you who have joyned with him in this spirit to denie that spirit which caused the restitution are seen in the eternal Light to be in the same state with the chief priests and rulers who joined with Iudas who bare the bag in combination to betray Christ this you wil find when the day of account comes when each Spirit will be seen as they are and they that joyn with them then shal not you be hid who have set this work on foot raised out of the depth of Satan till then we are not ashamed of that spirit which caused restitution condemned his pride and bare witness in him if he had minded it against all his lying wonders divinations and Sorceries And in that Spirit are we willing to suffer all the reproach of the Heathen in love to justice and meekness so take your own with which you are joyned and think not to be hid under a pretence of clearing the truth no more than Judas could be hid with a kisse and you will see at that day that what you have done is but to dig the pit deeper into which you must fall for from the Lord your counsels are not hid And before all the world do we own that Spirit which leads to truth and meekness and humility and do declare that the denying of that spirit was the cause of all his delusions and he shall know that that was his day of visitation And you that have taken part against that Spirit at that day shall know your blasphemy and your condition you may read Mark 3. 29. 30. Read their work and who they were and read your own And in your 17 page you say A short time after his compliance vvith that spirit vvhich entred into him by the observation of our practises and in your second page you say This spirit vvas infused before he vvent amongst the Seekers or knevv the Quakers so it vvas farr unlike to enter by the observation of our practice And by the observation of our practice you say declared to be from the teachings of the Spirit he denied his master aftervvard denied all relations went sate down at the head-end of the table above his Master iustified the deed of it went into Cheapside to gather up cabage stalks colwort leavs which were cast away to eat was possest that Christ Jesus which died at Jerusalem was a figure of him and that he was the true Christ that the dissolution of all things would be at the end of 63. years and that there was a greater Revelation to be made manifest in him than was in Christ to believe in outward appearances and spirits in likeness of a mans shade to believe in lying Spirits and take them for Angels and that he should be made perfect in 25. daies and that he was to suffer waiting for and desiring apparitions which would come and go at his desire dancing and flying about the Room and he dancing himself with them chusing Apostles believing in spirits singing and hissing like Bees calling them the Angels of the living God kindling fire with dead coals and such lying wonders taking a Flie to be a Messenger of God and being guided by Flies gathering sticks leaves and small stones laying them by themselves casting some awaie and keeping others waiting for direction from the blaze of a candle burning his Flesh at the fire at the observation of a Flie wrastling with himself imitating the crucifying and burying of Christ and much such like bewitched imaginations which Spirit you affirm entred into him by the observation of our practises and by a spirit that entred in thereby O you shameless men are not you led by the same bewitched confused spirit with which you have taken part by which you are so blinded to vomit out your own shame and utter out your confusion before all the world have not you before confessed that this spirit was infused into him defore he came among the Seekers or ever knew the Quakers And have not you confessed in your 49. page That the cause of these distractions and confusions in his minde was having been zealously affected in divers wayes before there was begotten in him much fleshly wisdome in which his hope did rest believing it to be the Holy Spirit revealed in him and that he was covered with deceit and could glory in that condition and in your 50. page you confess the light of the Spirit which if followed would have guided out of the works of the flesh and led to the worship of God in spirit and truth but he being naturally of a very hastie forward minde and his resolutions being a covenant of his own he was hastily carried forth before the true light by which in a short time he became lost in his understanding and exal●ed mightily and the enemy which was for condemnation having thereby darkned the true light of the Sun formed it self in the shape of the true light and so deceit got the power whereby he became obedient to these things

FOOT yet in the SNARE Though the Beast hath healed his wound and now pretends liberty but is fallen into the trap of the Priests receiving their testimony to beare it up who are in the pit themselves thereby giving them occasion to insult against the Truth as the Beast and the false Prophet hath alwaies joyned against the Lamb. Discovered in an Answer to Iohn Toldervy Matthew Pool VVilliam Jenkin John Tombs John Goodwin VVilliam Adderley George Cockain Thomas Jacomb and Thomas Brooks Who under a pretence of love to the truth have gone about to devour it and cover it with reproach Wherein their crooked wayes their confusions and contradictions is traced and laid open and their spirit tryed to bee the same which joyned Judas and the chief Priests and their false witnesses against the Heir at his appearance so these have joyned testimony to the truth of a lying book which by their own confession they never read over With something of their false testimony in short laid open left simple minds should bee led with a lye through the fame of the Forgers By one who loves the soul but hates the sin called JAMES NAYLOR And the chief Priests after they had hired Judas to betray Iesus they sought many false witnesses to put him to death but their witnesses agreed not together LONDON Printed for Giles Calvert at the Black-Spread-Eagle neer the West end of Pauls 1656. FOOT Yet in the SNARE GOOD is the Word of the Lord who by his Spirit hath foretold of the Heathen raging and the people imagining vainthings thereby to stop the appearance and exaltation of the King of Righteousness in every age of his coming into the world who hath also foretold of the gatherings together of the great Armies of Gog and Magog to battel against the Lamb with all the subtilty sorcery and witchcrafts of the devil that old Serpent and hater of innocencie who ceases not to stir up his chiefest interests and those whom he hath deceived and bewitched with lies and lying wonders joyning together head and tail root and branch in that nature to trample upon the appearance of Christ and shut up the Kingdome against men and for this end as one of his deepest designes he is ever seeking to get in amongst the children of Light with his Son of Perdition conforming himself as near as may be in outward things yea transforming himself into an angel of light a thing above all the litteral professors that thereby he may the more stronglie delude and make the waie more open whereby to make havock of the innocent doing that under a pretence of owning the truth which he never could do with open opposition this is his design which ever attends the appearance of the Son of God in this world for so is the fathers good pleasure to permit him for the trial exercise of his own seed where it is manifest thus it was with the Son of God in his appearance amongst the Jews where one of the twelve was a devil by his treacherie to the light convincement which he had received the chief priests pharisees got their envie effected against the Lamb he being an instrument for them against him which they never could do by al their disputes open contentions oppositions so it is seen at this daie by thee Iohn Toldervy the chiefpriests in these daies joined with thee herein joining your deceits against the innocent waie of the Lamb this design of Satan the spirit of God hath foreseen revealed to his holie apostles prophets which was to continue for the trials of his own at his coming amongst the saints in after-ages therefore Paul at his departure doth forewarn them to take heedun to the flock church of God which he had purchased with his own blood not onlie warning them of grievous wolves which would enter in amongst them not sparing the flock but saith he also of your own selves shal men arise speaking perverse things to draw disciples after them to perdition these are the heresies which the Scripture tels of which the Holy Ghost saith must be amongst the people of God that they that are approved may be made manifest it doth not onlie manifest them 1 Cor. 11. 9 that are approved but them that are for perdition also and these things were not strange to such as dwelt in the light nor are they strange to such as in the light dwell now who see there cannot be a war unless there be a Dragon as well as a Lamb and the beast with the many heads horns with blasphemie on every head as it is seen in you of many colours heads horns ioyned together in this blasphemie as doth now appera wil appear more plain concerning you in this thing than before who have set to your hands to certifie the belief you have concerning the truth of the devils actings who is a liar from the begining abode not in the truth nor doth he abide in the truth and to all who are in the least measure of light you have discovered your selves with whom you ioyne against whom you take part though your secret smiting cannot touch the truth nor them where it is manifest all you can do is to shut up the kingdom against such as are in the world with you least they should enter as did your fathers so do you of their reward shal you receive having fill'dup your measure three sorts of people there are that are much concerned in this filthy thing you have hatched brought forth besides the common scoffers of these daies as a snare to catch withall to devour in the way by consent as your fathers ever did The first sort of which the greatest envie is are without the reach of your trap those who have received the light of Christ whose eie is in their head who are come to any measure of the anointing are joyned in the election in the least measure there abiding are set above all the devils deceit and lying wonders who are brought to the love of the Lord his light and life to such I say this all other things that can befall in this world work together with the light for your good and therein I do rejoice on your behalf who shall hereby not only glorifie God who hath opened an eye to see above all these wiles of Satan whereby they are judged and the ground from whence they arise but also hereby learn the more to fear the Lord to walk worthie of him in your measures who hath called you out of darkness wherein others are stumbling and falling in mischief into his marvellous light wherein abiding you wil all be taught by this as by all other his vvorks to knovv his end as to your selves that he may teach you his praise both in redeeming his ovvn seed also in hardning the vvicked to destruction The second sort

bread and whereof you stand in no need so that there is little thoughts of your fasting But would you be counted Ministers of Christ and follow him and is fasting become a reproach with you David declares of your generation by whom his fasting was turned to his reproach by the bellie-Gods of his time and the same spirits now act the same things In your nineth page you tell of two Spirits in him one contrarie to the other by vvhich he did manie things in his vvill against his vvill And in your 49 page you say before he was perswaded to complie with us he had a right knowledge of our belief and practise here is another piece of your confusion manifest had he a right knowledge of our belief and practise who was thus acted for which you confess he was judged by all the Quakers and thus your false witnesses will not agree to the end you intended onlie it serves to manifest your own absurdities and that confused spirit to which you are joined which you say led him to do things in his wil against his wil whereby you say he became a destroyer of the will of God and this you would cast upon the Quakers whom you confess to have the Spirit of God in them witnessing against all Deceit and misguided spirits as though the spirit of God which witnesseth against all Deceit did lead him to destroy the will of God and afterward confess in the same page that it was his imaginarie which being overthrown in one thing there was begotten the like being in another shape thus adding your confusion as though the like being could be in another shape by which you say he was wrought upon to believe many things and act many things as follows and yet your drift in the book is to accuse the Light of Christ therewith as though his imaginaries were the Light of Christ and much such unsavourie stuff your slanderous spirits send out of the bottomeless pit Then you go on and tell of his believing of what was manifest of God in man is the Light of life and one with himself and that man was the cause of all his distractions and confusions in himself and that man having lost the kernall and substance he feedeth on dry husks and being not refreshed with bread and water of life he remains alwayes seeking and never satisfied and that eternall life living in us there needeth no more thirst and that confusion proceeds from the evill one transformed in man who having darkned his understanding leads him to many duties that are his own that if the author and finisher of our faith live in us there is perfection and that in the first Creation man was made pure and holy c. and many other precious truths which nearly concerns the salvatton of every soul to know and these being things which the Devill most envies you have mixed vvith them some of your ovvn Deceits thereby the better to make people believe they are errors and having heaped a great sort of them together that you might strike at the vvhole foundation at once then you say that you vvill declare some of those effects vvhich this change vvrought in him going on to tell of his filthie practises being led with flies to crucifie himself and to burn his Legs and prick Needles in his Thumbs and such filthie bewitched stuff not worth the mentioning being the devills work You blasphemers did those truths of God before mentioned lead to these things how are you filled with subtil envie against the truth was there ever such a nest to set your hands to slander the truth shall not the Lord find you out and bring your wickedness upon your ownpate shal your ioyning hand in hand keep your wickedness from being punished what you have done in secret the Lord wil reward you openlie the daie of Revelation is at hand and you can be no longer hid You go on to tell how he was moved not to pull off the hat to any man to speak the word THEE and THOU not to bow or worship any man not to direct his mind in drinking to any to pul off his Points at his knees and his Buttons that were unnecessarie and such like things which you vvould loath see go dovvn and therefore give it as though it vvas the Spirit of the devill that bare vvitness against these things and so vvould condemn the spirit of God and practise of the Saints for the upholding of the Devills vvork vvho is not divided against himself vvho hath too many amongst you to make covers for pride and excess to set any on vvork to crie it dovvn or your flattring titles either Did ever the Spirit of God use any other language to a particular than Thou or Thee Doth it not forbid bovving or vvorshipping any man Or did ever any vvho are guided by the Spirit of God put off their hats one to another in vvale of Worship or Complement Or did they ever use the practise of you Drunkards drinking one to another enticing one another to devour the creatures upon your lusts by your heathenish customes Or did they ever use Points at their knees in your manner of filthie pride May not all see what you are about to uphold Are you the Ministers of Christ or the Ministers of sin who are pleading for pride and the worlds customes and whether this be not the lust of the eies the lust of the flesh and the pride of life which is not of the Father Let your Testimonie that you have set your hands unto be witness against you Have you taken monies so manie Years for preaching against sin pride and drunkenness respect of persons and creature-worships and lived in it and now that Christ is come to bear testimonie against it in practise and to cast it down in his Creatures are you now forced to set to your shoulders both in word and writing lest it should fall Do not the most of your Pulpits sound everie daie against those people who cannot bow to these filthinesses Who would have believed had they judged by your words that you would have been found the Ministers of sin and Antichrist Is this your foot out of the Snare or a bringing all feet into the Snare Is this a Restoration of the Inhabitants of Zion into their place whose words tend to uphold such things whereby Zion is captivated and Babylons Brats restored into their place Herein you are seen for this is the daie of Revelation and righteous Judgement which is coming on and by your works you must be proved and not by your words and your reward shall be accordinglie Then you go on to tell of the working of this power upon his Spirit and that by his perswasion of this wa●e he was engaged to make restitution of fortie shillings which he had adventured to take unwarrantablie So you condemning that Spirit and waie which caused the restitution are found the justifiers of that which

before related by which the simple became exceedidgly deceived Is not this your own confession under your hands and dare you joine to blaspheme and say that this was by compliance with that spirit which is declared to be from the teachings of the spirit of Christ in us when you your selves had cleared it in plain words and laid it upon his Fleshlie-mindedness and deceit whereby he was hastilie carried forth before the true light which if he had followed you say would have led him out of the works of the Flesh into the true worship of God in spirit and truth Are not you in the sight of all who know the spirit of God seen to be led with the same drunken confused blasphemous spirit to slander the teachings of the spirit of Christ with these things wherein your own hands testifie against you And in your 32 33. pages when he was working these wonders pulling off his band gathering sticks and leaves serving the devill and say you in the time of this service by the perswasion of divers of those you call Quakers sometimes he would give over but when giuen ouer he would be commanded by the first fly he saw to that seruice again And afterwards in page 38. do you not confess that when he came to the meeting at the place where the Quakers were shewing the holes he had made in his thumbs and telling of these lying wonders which he had been acting many of the Quakers being there all of them judged him with one consent charged him to be silent and told him that he was in darkness and had slain the witness of God in him And in your 51. page you confess he was restored to a right understanding and his life became a clear light by being guided in that obedience which was professed by those people and all this being your own confession and signed with your own hands for truth you are not ashamed to charge all these things upon a spirit that entred in by the observation of our pract●ses whom you call Quakers Was there ever such a heap of confusion and falshood uttered and signed for truth by a pack of men stark drunk with envie against the truth shall not all who know our practises be witness against you herein that never any of these practises was owned by us and be you witnesses against your selves for ever that you are of that generation who had ever the mouth open against the innocent they being moved to bear testimonie against your filthie practises is the cause of this envie as witness all your generation throughout the Scriptures and all the Histories of the innocent sufferings to reproach persecution or blood When did ever any of this befall the innocent Lambs of God but you were the instruments to set it on foot and carrie it on under the name of heresies or blasphemie sometime possessing the Rulers of the earth and sometimes the people therewith as though you were zealous for God when it is for your own ends to vent your envie against the righteous seed at his appearance Was it not the chief Priests who joined hands against the Prophets who were sent by the Lord to bear witness against their false Doctrine and greediness of hire wherefore they could never be●at rest with any thing short of their blood Was it not the chief Priests who combined against Christ with many plots and temptings and could never be at rest till they prevailed with a Iudas to betray him the case now in hand And how oft they sought the life of the Apostles the Scriptures make manifest yea they would joine with murderers therein under a pretence of performing a vow besides the innocent blood that hath been shed since in everie Generation and is there any in this Citie but they are ashamed to have a hand in so filthie a thing or to cast upon a people that are innocent such a slander anie but your selves So consider your work and the confused thing you have set your hands to wherein you have been forced so often to clear us of the thing you have so often accused us of and to the world declared your selves whereof all the world cannot prove us guiltie of these deceits wrought by him further than to testifie against him and them and that Spirit by which he was acted as we do against that Spirit by which you are now acted in your lies and slanders which is t●e same Spirit for the Sorcerer the Murtherer and the Liar is one Spirit so you who have cast these things upon the persons of the Quakers which your selves do testifie they denied and judged with one consent let all men see by what spirit you are led Was there ever such a thing done amongst the people of God Had you lived in the Apostles times would not you have slandered the ttuth and the persons of the Saints with the Act of Simon Magus though it was much better than you who sel that which is not the gift of God Would not you have charged the Act of the incestuous person upon the Apostles and that of Ananias and Saphyra upon their Doctrine and that of Iudas upon Christ and his Disciples which is the like case And had this been just dealing to accuse the innocent or have you done herein as you would be done unto would you have all the filthiness of your hearers the drunkenness whoring the witchcrafts the murthers the persecutions the swearings the Pride the Covetousness and all abominations in the Land for amongst your hearers you Parish-masters it all is would you have it raked up and cast upon your persons nay though some of it you be guiltie of nay would you who are the false witnesses in this paper against the innocent have the abomination that some of you are guilty of gathered up and cast upon the persons of the rest consider of it If you had any part of the true worship of Cod in your Steeplehouses would you have it slandered by one whom you cannot reclaim and therefore have denyed would you hold them guiltless who should gather up all these things and much such like which is amongst you not denyed as we have done him but pleaded for and printed it in a book and set it out w th many false aggravations say the subject matter doth relate principally to the persons of you subscribe hands to it say they are certified of the contents and circumstances of that discourse and are fully satisfied of the truth of things reported in it and so commend it to all as a piece worthie to be read when you confess some of you have but perused a part thereof and then be forced in the same Paper to clear you of the same things this being the true case betwixt your selves and us whose persons you have slandered take it into consideration and let the light of Christ be Judge in you whether you have kept the royall Law to do as you
