A45480	The Quakers house built upon the sand. Or, A discovery of the damnablenesse of their pernicious doctrines With a warning to the people of God, and all others that tender the salvation of their immortall soules, to build upon the rocke Christ Jesus, and his righteousnesse, to confirm the faith once delivered to the saints. In answer to a rayling pamphlet, lately put forth by George Whithead. This is published for the securing the saints, keeping others out of the snare, and (if possible) the reducing some of those that have been seduced by their destructive principles. By the unworthyest of the labourers in the Lords vineyard, and teacher to a church of Christ, Samuel Hammond.	Hammond, Samuel, d. 1665.	1658 (1658)	Wing H623A; ESTC R215874	18,572	28

a sweet savour to many in Newcastle it is not the breathing out such noysome words that will make us otherwise Page the nineteenth He tells the story of the Magistrates of Newcastles dissolving the Meeting of the Quakers and charging them not to Meet there any more As for the Magistrates of Newcastle their activenesse to punish sin their tendernesse to the godly of different judgements hath made Newcastle famous in the Eyes of the Nation The blessing of God upon their Government is eminent And for their not suffering Quakers to have their Meetings here to seduce the people it is their Zeale and Glory they know no Law that tolerates their Meetings And for their Halberds who knows not that the Chiefe Magistrates use to be so attended let them say if there were an haire of any of their heads hurt the Magistrates themselves were there on purpose to prevent violence But this will force me to give the Reader an account of the wonderfull out goings of God against the Quakers at that time In December last there came many of the Quakers and met at Newcastle to spread their pernicious Principles and on a Lords Day they pasted up a Paper upon the Doore of the publique Meeting place to tell of their Meeting that day and where it was but the Magistrates hearing of it went and dissolved them Then they went to hire the Mute-hall but could not obtaine that Then one William Cotesworth of Shields a great Ringleader amongst the Quakers went and under colour of Maulting hired a very great House in Newcastle but before he could enjoy it the Lord signally witnessed against him and stroke him with madnesse who at that time rid to Durham on the Lords Day and being apprehended and asked the cause of Travelling on the Lords Day he said He was going to the Protector for a Pardon for those that had slaine the Mayor of Newcastle but the Justice perceiving him mad sent him to the Goale and he dyed starke mad within a few dayes in Prison Another of them at that time a Shoo maker in Newcastle and rayled at me in the Publique Meeting-place who presently was strucke mad and in the height of his madnesse I was with him and heard and saw him raveing who hath since thanked me for visiting him Thus hath the wrath of the Lord broke out against them and their way Page the twentieth There is one story remains and that is about two shillings and six pence which Whithead sayes I gave the Keeper of the Mute-hall he sayes it went abroad so is that the way of a Lover of Truth as he pretends to be to Print every thing that goes abroad Thus Jeremies enemies that were enemies to the Truth Jer. 20.10 Should I Print all that goes abroad of Quakers I might busie the Printer But the truth of the story is this There was a gratious man a Friend of mine came and told that the Quakers were hyring the Mute-hall to Meet in I presently took my Friend with me and we went and s●oke with the man and shewd him the sinfulnesse of suffering them to Meet there who being convinced told us they should not meet there but before we parted I desired him to send for Turner the Quaker that had been with him about it And the man before us told him they should not Meet there And when the Quaker was gone I considering that the man being very poor might murmure at our hindring of his gain and be tempted againe by them I adviced with my Friend that two shillings and six pence should be given him to answer what he expected from them Now where was the lye We first convinced him of the sin of letting it to them he discharged the Quaker before us We gave it purely as the searcher of hearts knows to prevent the Quakers temptings He shuts up all with loud rayling it is their way the Lord forgive them they know not what they doe These things ought not so to be Who so is a wise man and exdued with wisedome amongst you let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meeknesse of wisedome James 3.10.13 FINIS

THE QUAKERS HOUSE Built upon the Sand. OR A Discovery of the Damnablenesse of their pernicious Doctrines With a Warning to the People of God and all others that tender the salvation of their immortall soules to build upon the Rocke Christ Jesus and his Righteousnesse to confirm the Faith once delivered to the Saints In Answer to a Rayling Pamphlet lately put forth by GEORGE WHITHEAD This is Published for the securing the Saints keeping others out of the snare and if possible the reducing some of those that have been seduced by their Destructive Principles By the unworthyest of the Labourers in the Lords Vineyard and Teacher to a Church of Christ Samuel Hammond Now the Spirit speaketh expresly that in the latter times some shall depart or Apostatize from the Faith giving heed to seducing spirits 1 Tim. 4.1 Gateshead Printed by Stephen Bulkley 1658. The Quakers House Built upon the Sand OR A Discovery of the Damnablenesse of many of their pernicious Doctrines c. SInce the great Shepherd and Bishop of our Soules hath called so unworthy a worme into the work of the Ministry for the gathering in and building up of the body of Christ the Lord can witnesse with me that there are some things that I have mainly designed First To study the Gospel in the great Mystery of Justification and the Power of the Death of Christ Secondly To be much with God about the reality of the Gospel and the Teachings of his Spirit Thirdly To be zealous for and Faithfull to the name and interest of Christ And this I profes Not as though I had already attained either were already perfect but I follow after if that I may apprehend that for which I am apprehended of Christ Jesus And hence is it That when I perceive Satan is under any eminent designe by his instruments to seduce soules from the Truth as it is in Jesus from the Foundation Principles of the Gospel my heart is moved within me to appear for the Lord and his Christ and thence comes it that I have been made a man of contention long with almost all different Judgements And I am the rather drawn out at such alaruming times for securing soules with whom I have to doe in the Ministration of the Gospel to warn them of the damnablenesse of those Doctrines which wholly lead from Jesus Christ and the true spirit of the Gospel and leade into the first Adam first Covenant and false righteosnesse I say I am the rather drawne out to goe this way because I find the Apostles when-they had to doe with false teachers that led them back from Christ to the Law and the Covenant of Works they shewed the damnablenesse of those Doctrines and the impossibility of Salvation that way The Church of Galatia was wonderfully infected with this designe of bringing people back from Christ to the Covenant of Works which hath been Satans designe from the Apostles times to this very day it hath been a great part of the spirit of Anti-Christ it runs through the Doctrine of Socinians it constitutes the Principles of the Quakers And when Paul discovered it he bestirs himselfe exceedingly and speaks home to the impossibility of salvation in that way Reade Galatians 2.16.17.18 Gal. 4.9.10 11. Gal. 5.2 Behold I say unto you that if yee be circumcised Christ shall profit you nothing Ver. 3. For I testifie againe to every man that is circumcised that he is a debtour to doe the whole Law Ver. 4. Christ is become of none effect unto you whosoever of you are justified by the Law ye are fallen from Grace Here you see Pauls zeale against such Doctrines and his way of declaring it It is That they cannot be saved if they leave Christ and fly to the works of the Law for justification or mingle the works of the Law with Christ for justification and I shall afterwards make it plainly appear That the Quakers in their Doctrines are notoriously guilty of both these with many other grosse and damnable Opinions Now this example of Paul in Writing to the Church of Galatia to secure them from such Doctrines under paine of Damnation is my Patterne for doing the like This he carryed to other Churches where these false Apostles were seducing of them Hence the Apostles usually called them Damnable Doctrines Doctrines that Destroy the Faith of some wrest Scriptures to their own Destruction There were other things moved me to that plainnesse and faithfulnesse in warning of the damnablenesse of many of the Quakers Doctrines About December last many of them were here gathered together and were endeavouring to make it their great Worke to seduce the People And then first that of I say came upon my heart chap. 59.19 When the Enemy shall come in like a Flood the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a Standard against them And then that of Ezekiel 33. where it was much upon my soule that I could not be free from the blood of the people unlesse I gave them warning against those damnable Doctrines And thus having given the Reader an account of my so publike appearing that time against them I shall now apply my selfe to a Pamplet set forth by George Whithead full of sinfull Doctrines and vile reproaches pretending to Answer what I then Delivered In my Reply to it I doe first professe what I once told two of the Quakers I should blesse the Lord when he should open a Doore of Providence to me to hold forth my testimony to the World of the impossibility of salvation by their Principles which I then onely declared to a Congregation In the answering of this Paper I shall propound this Method First To shew the Grounds of the Quakers delusions and what it is leads them into and keeps them in these pernicious Principles that others may discover their snares and beware of them Secondly To demonstrate the impossibility of salvation in and by their Principles Thirdly To Answer the most materiall Cavills in this Pamphlet of Whitheads and then leave my Name and Work and all in the hands of a Faithful God As to the Causes of their Delusions 1. A spirit of giddinesse hanging loose to the Truth and the love of it and thereupon Gods just giving them up to strong delusions to be led captive by Satan at his will Now for the better understanding of this we must know that there are three sorts of people turne Quakers The first sort of them are unlearned and unstable wresting Scripture to their own destruction and these are generally those that formerly were ancient Professours but having unstable minds runne from Forme to Forme from Principle to Principle till Satan hath caught them in the Quakers snare Another sort there are of yong Men and Women amongst them and these having been under some convictions and awakenings of the Law have followed the light of an awakened conscience and sit down under that before they closed with Christ and think that terrours and shakings are fittest

Principle and Practice of the Quakers It is casting off the yoke of Christ but this I shall fully speak to in the latter part of Whitheads Pamphlet There are other dangerous Principles I might instance in as that of perfection by improving the light in us c. But I hope to every understanding sound heart these will demonstrate the inconsistency of these Principles lived and dyed in with salvation For as it is sound Doctrine That a drunkard cannot be saved because drunkennesse is a damning sin so if these be damning Principles as I am satisfied they are then he that lives and dyes in them cannot be saved These things I have thus freely declared not out of any desire to passe sentence upon the Quakers the Lord is witnesse but to warne saints and others who are not yet in their snares from having to doe with their Principles and also if possible to save some of them with feare pulling them out of the fire Jude 23. Now the last thing I have to doe is to reply to the Cavills of George Whithead where first I might gather up an heap of vile reproaches as Blinde Watchman deceiving fellow c. but I will not rake in such a dunghill it is their spirit and I leave him to the Lord to rebuke The first Page is full of bitter rayling all I shall say to it is that of James 3.6.8 The tongue is a fire an unruly evill full of deadly poyson The second Page speaks his Pen and Spirit dipt in the gall of Asps there is one cavill I would speake a word to and that is because I said It hath been upon my thoughts many yeares that a man living and dying in the Principles of the Quakers cannot be saved What I so long thought I then gave demonstrative grounds for and now more largely But Whithead sayes that because I said it had been upon my thoughts therefore it could not be of the Lord What an ignorant inference is this Are there not many pretious truths kept upon the thoughts of saints many yeares When David Prayed to God 1 Chron. 29.18 O Lord God keep this for ever in the imaginations of the thoughts of the heart of thy people Was it therefore not of God because it was upon their thoughts so long Or when Paul sayes 2 Cor. 9.5 I thought it necessary to exhort the Brethren therefore Pauls thoughts were not of the Lord but whether will not a cavilling spirit carry a man His Discourse of quaking is so fully answered in our reply to them formerly that I will not trouble the Reader nor my selfe further about it Page third to my saying That the Lord called to warn the people of the rage and infusion of Satan there is not a word of Answer but rayling I am not to render evill for evill He carps at an expression of mine from Ezek. 33.6 where alluding from the temporall to the eternall death you will see it was a very proper expression The sixth verse runs thus But if the Watch-man see the Sword come and blow not the Trumpet and the people be not warned if the Sword come and take any person from among them he is taken away in his iniquity but his blood will I require at the Watch-mans hand Now I said if it be matter of eternall life I will call for damnation at their hands sayes Gods the Watch-mans hands for damnation answers to the Phrase Blood when it is taken for eternall death Was there any cause of cavill here but the Leopard cannot change his spots nor the Quaker his rayling And for the Phrase calling for damnation is it not equivalent to that of requiring their blood upon this he falls into bitter rayling Page the fourth First after a passionate fit of rayling he affirmes That so much of light is in every man as will reveale Christ in them and save them that beleeve in it To which I answer That that light which is in every man is the reliques of the light of the first Creation first Covenant the covenant of works which can no way reveale Christ as the Mediator much lesse reveale Christ to be in them who have onely that naturall lights 1 Cor. 2.14 the Heathen who have the reliques of the Creation light have no Knowledge of Christ as Mediator so far is it from them to have Christ in them to some it is given to some it is not given Mat. 13.11 And for that saying that he is a light to enlighten the Heathen or Gentiles it is meant of a new Gospel light given forth in conversion not of their creation or first covenant light notwithstanding which the Apostle plainly affirms of them Eph. 2.11.12 that they were without Christ c. 2. He affirmes that they that beleeve in the light they have it will save them pag. 4. line 22. If he meane by the light in them Christ personall that 's horrid ignorance to say that Christ personall is in Heathens if of a created work of light that 's blasphemy that beleeving in a creature will save but whether soever they meane his ignorance in this point is grosse and is the root of many other Delusions 3. As to that of John 8.12 It is plainly meant of Christs Person as the Fountaine of Light I am the Light of the World that is I give the Knowledge of the Gospel to those in the world that beleeve in me as it is expounded John 12.46 I am come a light into the world that whosoever beleeveth in me should not abide in darkenesse It cannot be meant of the Created Light for then a man were to beleeve in his own light which is sinfull ignorance of the Gospel and nature of beleeving And for his quaery How can they follow Christ if there be not a light to enlighten their darkenesse I Answer Till Christ create a second Covenant-light the light of Faith upon the account of the covenant of grace they cannot follow Christ there are thousands in their state of darknes that cannot follow Christ for want of light Iohn 1.5 the darknes comprehended it not Page the fifth He falls to horrid rayling and then speaks to that assertion of mine That the Quakers meane by their light the light of natural conscience and answers it by denying it But I shall demonstrate that that is their plaine meaning though they would delude themselves and others with words just as the Paelagians who boldly affirmed they were as much for Grace as any who when it came to be sifted by Augustine it appeared they meant by grace onely the naturall ability God had given them and the Scriptures and thereupon were condemned by severall great Councells the Diospolitan and two Carthaginian Councells the Fathers of those times would not be put off with words And so they did in the Arrian businesse though Arrius pretended he was of the same mind with the Nicen Councell vide Hottings Hist. Sacr. cap. 4. pag. 174. I quote these things to
