This august assembly gave us the famous Westminster Confession of Faith, the Westminster Shorter Catechism, and a host of other important and unsurpassed documents. + RUTHERFORD, SAMUEL If Cant was the apostle of the Covenant, and Warriston its pen, and Peden its prophet, Rutherford was something more than its bard, a sensitive reed shaken with the wind of a stormful age, and giving out soft music that touched the soul to tears. He was the strong brain, the dura medulla, the intellectual fibre of the Covenant... He was an out and out Covenanter, a protester of Protesters (sometimes called Steelites today--RB), ready by pen or tongue to defend the blue banner even unto death (Blair as cited in Johnston, Treasury of the Scottish Covenant, p. 304). "Samuel Rutherford, so much on high that you wonder how he had patience to amass such learning, and write so many books -- perhaps the completest instance of absorbing affection for the person of a living Saviour, the liveliest example of a life hid with Christ in God, which these latter ages have produced" (Dr. J. Hamilton as cited in Johnston, Treasury of the Scottish Covenant, p. 304). + PROTESTERS: RUTHERFORD, SAMUEL, JAMES GUTHRIE, WILLIAM GUTHRIE, ROBERT TRAILL, JAMES NISBET, et al. The Protesters were Scottish Covenanters who remained faithful to the Solemn League and Covenant while others in the Scottish Presbyterian Church (called Resolutioners) defected from this Reformation attainment for worldly and unscriptural reasons. Included among the Protesters where: Samuel Rutherford, James Guthrie, William Guthrie, Robert Traill, James Nisbet, and many notable Reformers. + GILLESPIE, GEORGE Gillespie was one of the Scottish commissioners to the Westminster Assembly. He was one of the greatest theologians of all time -- almost singlehandedly steering this august Assembly at certain points. As Hetherington notes, "in all those debates no person took a more active part, or gained more distinction than George Gillespie," though he was the youngest man there. Furthermore, Hetherington calls him a "genius of the highest order," and writes that his work "dazzled and astonished his countrymen." "Noted for his erudition, keen mind, powerful debating skills and articulate speech and often called "Great Mr.Gillespie" in his day, he has been referred to as the prince of Scottish theologians and the supreme defender of Presbyterian church government" (Nigel Cameron, ed. Dictionary of Scottish Churc
