THE QUAKERS HOUSE Built upon the Rock CHRIST Wherein neither their Doctrines Principles nor Practises can be confounded nor disproved being neither damnable nor pernitious As Samuel Hammond hath falsly affirmed in his Book called The Quakers House Built upon the Sand. Or a Discovery of the damnablenes of their pernitious Doctrins in his Answer to G. W. which to prove he lays down seven Grounds of Delusion and five Arguments of Damnable Doctrine But in this Answer his seven Grounds is proved false in themselves if they were as they are not true against us And his five Arguments is proved to be his own false Positions not according to our Doctrine and Principles As first he lays down false Positions and then proves them false and then boasts as if he had proved our Doctrines or Principles false The truth of which is herein clearly made manifest and wherein he falsly accuseth us he is justly guilty himselfe Also the ten Fundamentall Principles or Doctrines of the Hireling Priest-hood here Discovered This is given forth that all those that have wilfully and from pride and presumpt on of spirit opposed the living truth and the breaking-forth of light from the pure everlasting Fountain of life may put their mouthes in the dust and keep silence if so be for them there may be hope For the lying Tongue will God confound but the lipp of Truth will he establish for ever By a Servant to the Church of Christ which is built of tryed and living stones Richard Hubberthorne In the Lord shall all the seed of Israel be justified and shall glory Isay 45. 25. over all the false Prophets which haue deceived the nations among whom is found the blood of the Saints The Quakers House Built upon the Rocke CHRIST c. THe holy Seed which the living Father doth manifest his Life Spirit and Power unto in all Ages hath been and is the reproach of the World and of all them that be strangers to the life of God and to Christs life manifest in the mortall bodies And though this seed be that which the Father hath blessed and hath received the truth and by the truth is set free according to Christs words John 8. 31. yet in the world from slanderous Tongues and false accusations we expect not to be free but to beare his reproaches and in the patience and power of the Lambe to overcome them for God will bring forth our Righteousnesse Truth and Innocency to shine as the light before all people whereby all hard speeches and false reproaches will be wiped away out of the Nations And that shall fulfill and accomplish that which in words we declare and in that are we known to God and shall be known to the world And now seeing that it hath pleased the Father to reveale his Sonne in us and to open the hidden treasures of his life and hath given us of his holy Spirit and the Tongue of the Learned we shall not cease to improve his gift in speaking what we know and testifie what we have seen both by holding forth the truth in the World and by testifying against that in the World which is contrary to it For now hath the living God opened the Fountain of Life abundantly and is drying up the Fountain of words where the life is wanting And the Lord by his eternall Spirit is giving an understanding to many whereby they are able to discern of things that differ and to know every Tree by its Fruit and to try all things by that measure of his light and holy spirit which he hath given them And to that which is of God in all people doe I commit my Testimony to be read and understood Now this from the meek spirit of Christ in Answer to that which from the pride presumption and arrogancy of Hammonds spirit is come forth against the living truth it selfe and the servants of it but every Tongue that riseth up in judgement against us will God confound First S. H. saith That the Quakers House is built upon the Sand c. Answer How is it then that the Sea hath so long roared and listed up its Waves and the Winds hath blown and it is not yet falne Have not you of all Professions joyned together and have not your Voyces been as the Voyce of many Waters against us And have you not been as blustring Winds which if we had regarded we should not have sowne the seed of the Kingdom As the Prophet hath said He that regards the Winde shall not sow Eccl. 11. 4. So if we had regarded your noyses uproars swelling words of Vanity lyes acensations or persecutions we had not been obedient to the Lord nor done his worke But the Lord hath made our persecutors to stumble according to his promise and his enemies are even weary with smiting of his children Ier. 9. 5. And he is giving his power and dominion to his anoynted ones of the whole Earth And hath ordained his arrowes against the persecutors Psal. 7. 13. And in the Lord shall all the Seed of Israel be justified and shall glory Isay 45. 25. in this the day of the Lords power when the life of the holy Child Jesus is appearing in the dark places of the Earth who is the Rock of Ages and the Foundation of many Generations upon which we are built and stand a witnesse against all the unrighteousnesse of men the proofe of which is not because we say so but the appearing and breaking forth of his life and the fruits of his holy spirit shall make it manifest And to all these that desire the knowledge of Gods wayes it will be known perfectly that God is amongst us and that his spirit power and presence is with us Again Sam. Hammond saith That his Book is a discovery of the pernitious and damnable Doctrines of the Quakers And for securing the Saints c. Answer A refuge of lyes will not secure the saints as I shall prove his Book to be neither can he which is in the Doctrine which is pernitious and damnable discover them in others nor to others as I shall prove in that which followeth in reply to his Book And first to begin with his Method which is as he saith First to shew the grounds of the Quakers Delusions Secondly to demonstrate the impossibility of salvation in and by their Principles Thirdly to answer George Whitheads cavills in his Pamphlet as S. H. falsely calls it First cause of Delusion S. H. A spirit of giddinesse hanging loose to the truth and the love of it c. and to prove it he saith That there is three sorts of people that turne Quakers The first are unlearned and unstable and these are they which have been ancient Professors The second sort young men and women which have been under convictions and awakenings of the Law and are come to terrors and shakings and brought into a Covenant of Works c. The third sort such who for covetous ends to

am thy part and thine Inheri●ance among the Children of Israel Ver. 21. And behold I have g●ven of Levy all the tenth in Israel for an Inheritance for their service which they serve even the service of the Tabernacle of the Congregation And hast thou not read Deut. 10. 9. Wherefore Levy hath no part nor Inheritance among their brethren the Lord is his Inheritance as the Lord God promised him c. And hast thou not read Deut. 18. 1. 2. The Priests the Levites and all the Tribe of Leui shall have no p●rt nor Inheritance with Israel they shall eat the Offerings of the Lord made by fire and his Inheritance Therefore shall they have no Inheritance among their Brethren the Lord is their Inheritance as the Lord hath said c. And hast thou not read Joshua 13. 14. Onely unto the Tribe of Levy he gave none Inheritance the sacrifice of the Lord God of Israel made by fire was their Inheritance as the Lord hath said And hast thou not read Ezek. 44 28. I am their Inheritance saith the Lord and ye shall give them no possession in Israel I am their possession Now this was their Inheritance and Possession and that which they had for their service was the Tythe and out of that all the Widowes Strangers and Fatherlesse was to come to the Priests Gate and be satisfied that there should not be a begger in Israel But though the Priests in England have the Tythes yet there are Widowes Strangers and Fatherlesse that wants and many beggers in England and by their covetousnesse is many oppressed and their goods taken from them whereby they are brought to suffer want but the Lord hath opened the bowels of compassion in some to pitty and supply those which the Priests ●er their cov●tous ends make merchandise of Now this I have declared that all such may see themselves if so be that God at any time will give them repentance that they may be saved Another snare hath Sam Hammond runne himselfe into by perverting the Apostles words when he bids them Prove all things and hold fast that which is good these words Sam. Hammond limits to this that they must try what is according to the mind of Christ and hold that Ans. That is not all things but one thing but they were to try all things what was according to the mind of Christ and what was not and try the spirits whether they be of God and when they had tryed what was according to the mind of Christ and what was not and what spirit was of God and what was not then they were to hold fast that which was good But S. H saith must they try sinne and must they goe heare the Papists to try their Doctrine Ans. Thou art very blind and dark in thy understanding Is there no trying of sinne but by entering into the experimentall practice of it Ans. Yes The Lord ha●h given us of his spirit by which we are able to try your Ministery your Wages your Covetousnesse and your cruelty and slandering of the Innocent and yet not enter into any of your practises and as we try you so we doe the Papists likewise not from the Orthodox writers as thou calls them but by the spirit of the living God And Paul did not bid the Thessalonians goe to some Orthodox Writers to try either Spirit or Doctrines by their Books But thy end in speaking these words is That people should not heare us declare the Truth lest they should be converted to God and brought off all false wayes and worships which they have long been kept under by thy perverting of the Scripture to thy own end And if they must goe to thy Books as Orthodox to try us by there they may find thee speaking evill of us without a cause and laying open thy own nakednesse and ignorance of the things of God But if people once come to know the measure of Gods spirit and with that try and prove they will see tha● they have been alwayes learning but was never able to know the truth from any of your Teachings Againe thou goes to excuse the Magistrates of New-castle in their cruelty and hayling of the peaceable people of the Lord out of d●res and saith that it is their Zeale and Glory but Persecution was ever blind and that Zeale which sto●d in it And further thou saith that they know no Law that tolerates their Meetings Answer What! wilt thou shame the Magistrates of New-castle before all people What! ar● they ignorant of the Law of the Nation and of the Instru 〈…〉 of Goverment and by this account thou would ren●er ●hem uncapable of doing justice in New-castle or of executing their place of trust wherein they are put to doe justice and performe the righteousnesse of the Law But when they truely come to see thee and thy words they will have no great incouragement to give thee so great Wages for upbraiding them with their ignorance of the Laws of the Nation Pr. Againe thou empties the Venome of thy heart by false accusing not onely the living but the dead in saying that William Cotesworth of Shields hyred a House in New-castle but before that he could enjoy it the Lord stroke him with madnesse Ans. This is false for he did enjoy the House he hyred and others with him did meet peaceably in it and enjoy the Lords presence and teaching before the Lords stroke as thou calls it but doe not thou accuse the Lords stroke neither doe thou charge God with any indignation against him For when the Lord makes inquisition for the blood of his Saints thou wilt not be cleare in this in saying the Lord did witnesse against him or us in that particular Pr. Againe thou mentions a Shoomaker in New castle which thou saith was one of us and came and rayled against thee and was presently struke mad Ans. Here thou would make people beleeve wonders was he not mad before he rayled against thee And that Shoomaker was never any of us nor owned of us ever to be in the truth and he was mad and distracted before ever be saw us or we him But he that is in the gall of bitternesse must vent it out But the Lord doth keep us clear from the blood of all men and that truth which we are witnesses of shall stand for ever over all our Accusers who are filling up the measure of their iniquities by speaking all manner of evill against us as Christ said they should doe But in this we rejoyce When men speake all manner of evill against us falsly for his name sake for great is our reward in Heaven for even so persecuted they the prophets that went before us and this is that reproach which for his sake we must beare as he hath left us an example for the servant is not greater then his Lord Pr. The last thing in this Book is a story which thou tells to thy own shame Of thy hyring a
