A critique of the Sandemanian (or 'Glasite') church, by a Particular Baptist minister. The sect was founded in the 1730s by John Glas, a Presbyterian minister in Scotland. Glasite teachings were spread abroad by Glas' son-in-law Robert Sandeman. Glas made the assertion that "the bare death of Jesus Christ without a thought or deed on the part of man, is sufficient to present the chief of sinners spotless before God."
