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

too_o 2._o whithead_n say_v it_o be_v a_o light_n in_o the_o conscience_n but_o great_a than_o conscience_n if_o so_o how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o those_o saint_n in_o new_a england_n that_o converse_n with_o the_o indian_n never_o see_v the_o least_o break_v forth_o of_o it_o but_o they_o worship_v the_o devil_n nay_o how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o even_o in_o old_a england_n we_o see_v hundred_o that_o manifest_v no_o other_o light_n but_o that_o of_o a_o natural_a conscience_n and_o not_o much_o of_o that_o neither_o 3._o if_o it_o be_v light_a beside_o the_o light_n of_o a_o

be_v to_o leave_v sin_n and_o obey_v their_o light_n never_o send_v they_o to_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n for_o justification_n but_o nourish_v they_o up_o with_o quake_n and_o terror_n in_o the_o

of_o the_o law_n but_o of_o faith_n that_o of_o roman_n 2.13_o be_v not_o speak_v of_o absolve_v a_o sinner_n at_o the_o bar_n of_o justice_n for_o that_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o whole_a tenure_n

above_o and_o at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n as_o a_o far_o off_o to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o this_o be_v to_o contradict_v plain_a scripture_n col._n 3.1_o if_o you_o be_v rise_v with_o

challege_v the_o whole_a generation_n of_o quaker_n to_o show_v one_o scripture_n that_o bid_v we_o look_v to_o the_o light_n within_o we_o a_o little_a after_o he_o shuffle_v and_o turn_v from_o bid_v we_o look_v to_o the_o light_n within_o we_o as_o if_o he_o be_v ashamed_a of_o that_o and_o bid_v we_o look_v up_o in_o the_o light_n but_o this_o be_v the_o old_a trick_n of_o error_n and_o then_o he_o tell_v we_o the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n do_v not_o direct_a people_n to_o look_v for_o a_o christ_n without_o i_o stand_v amaze_v at_o their_o ignorance_n when_o the_o scripture_n
