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.

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
