A44841	The Quakers house built upon the rock Christ Wherein neither their doctrines, principles, nor practices can be confounded, not 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, ...; and his five arguments is proved to be his own false positions, ... 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, ... By a servant to the Church of Christ, ... Richard Hubberthorne. ...

the Fruits by which they were manifest to be reprobates Let all people of understanding judge whether we or thy Generation of Priests be more guilty and then they will know the Tree by the Fruit as ver. 29. And as for thy charging of us as not being able to distinguish this is but thy false accusation for the Lord hath given us of his spirit whereby we are able to distinguish and discerne of things that differ And that righteousnesse which is wrought by Jesus Christ in us is to us a seale of that righteousnesse which was wrought in the Person of Christ and of that which in his blood is imputed to us for justification And whereas thou saith That we confound inherent and imputed Righteousnesse that is but thy reproaching of us And here thou art erred from the forme of sound words for the Scriptures doth not use these words to distinguish of Christs righteousnesse as inherent and imputed though by thy meaning that which is wrought in us by Christ thou wilt call inherent and that which was wrought in his Person without us imputed but this I say unto thee That if thou continue ignorant of Christ and his righteousnesse within thee thy imputing of him and his righteousnesse without will not save thee And while thou keeps people from Christ within them and his righteousnesse within them thou keep● them from that mistery which the Apostle Preached amongst the Gentiles which had been hid from ages and generations but now is made manifest to the Saints which is Christ in them the hope of glory Col. 1. 26. 27 and this is your work by your Preaching and Printing all of you in that Ministery who are erred from the form of sound words into your own imaginations in this age to hide the riches of the glory of this mystery from the people which is Christ in them the hope of glory and you would keep people in the sound of a report of Christ in words and from his life by which the saints was saved and the life of Christ was made manifest in their mortall bodies 2. Cor. 4. 11. But Samuel Hammond affirmes as his Principle or Doctrine in pag. 10. of his Book That the Scripture sends us to the right hand of God to Christ not to Christ in us Neither doe I know saith he any word of Scripture that bids us goe to the light in us though it should mean Christ in us that is the work of grace in us And to prove it he brings Col. 3. 1. Heb. 12. 2. Ans. As I said before it is my work and calling to instruct the ignorant and him that is out of the way Seeing that he saith that he knows not any word of Scripture that bids us goe to the light in us though it should meane Christ in us that is the worke of grace in us If he stand upon these very words Goe to the light in us neither doth the Scripture say Goe to the right hand of God to Christ but as it saith that Christ is at the right hand of God and sitteth at the right hand of God and that they must seek those things which are above where Christ sitteth Col. 3. 1. so the Scripture saith likewise that Christ is within Col. 1. 27. And this was the Mystery the Apostle Preached and the Apostle saith Know you not that Christ is in you except ye be reprobates 2 Cor 13. 5. and likewise he declares of the light in them 2 Cor. 4. 6. For God who commanded the light to shine out of darknesse hath shined in our hearts to give the light of the Knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ so the light which shined in their hearts did give them the light of the Knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ And David said that he had hid the Word in his heart And that the Word was a lampe to his feet and a light unto his paths Psal 119. 11. and ver. 105. so here was light within and by this light within he was guided and by this light within they did not confound inherent and imputed righteousnesse as he calls it as he falsly accuseth us to doe And the Apostle Peter directs them to the light within and saith We have a more sure word of Prophesie unto which ye doe well to take heed as unto a light that shines in a darke place untill the day dawne and the day starre arise in your hearts 2 Pet. 1. 19 so the day was to dawne and the day-starre to arise in their hearts Obj. But saith the Priests that sure Word of Prophesie was the Scriptures of the Prophets and not a light within because ver. 20. 21. it saith Knowing this first that no Prophesie of the Scriptures is of any private interpretation For the Prophesie came not in old time by the will of man but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the holy Ghost c. Ans. The Scriptures of the Prophets is not more sure nor more true then the Scriptures of the Apostles neither is the Visions of the Prophets more sure that the Visions of the Apostles Now that which the Apostle aludes to Was the voyce which came from the excellent glory which Voyce they heard when they were with him in the holy Mount so to them to whom he Wrote the light which shined in their hearts which brought them to waite for the day-daw●ing and the day fear a●ssing was more neer and more sure to them though not to the Apostle then the declaration in words or writing of that which others have seen or heard though that which they have seen and heard be true as any thing that is Written as thus For me to be obedient to the measure of light and life that appears and is manifest to me is to me more a seale or a more sure word to take heed unto then the words or writings that proceed from a greater manifestation in another though by this the truth of the greater or surenesse of it is not denyed by the lesser light but wayted for that the greatest manifestation or discovery of the Father may be as sure and as true to me as to those that have declared it He that hath an eare to heare the truth let him heare and he that can receive it let him Now because Priest Hammond saith that he knows not any word of Scripture that bids us goe to the light in us though it should mean Christ in us that is the worke of grace in us Now whereas he falsly accuseth George Whithead that he is not well read in the literall Knowledge of the Scriptures he justly condemns himselfe For if he were well read in the literall Knowledge of the Scriptures he would know that the Scripture speaks of the light within of Christ within and of the worke of gracs within which he hath declared his ignorance of but his end of so speaking is to
