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
