Glassite
n.
A member of a Scottish sect, founded in the 18th century by John Glass , a minister of the Established Church of Scotland, who taught that justifying faith is “no more than a simple assent to the divine testimone passively recived by the understanding.” The English and American adherents of this faith are called Sandemanians , after Robert Sandeman , the son-in-law and disciple of Glass.
