David,
That looks like a very good guess. I appreciate it very much indeed! The allusion to Augustine is from Gillespie's English Popish Ceremonies, which I published in a semi critical edition in 1993. For a second edition I'm trying to clean up the references and bibliography (see here). I know a bit more now than 15 years ago (maybe) and I want to tie up some loose ends that bug me that I didn't back then.
Thanks guys (but not you Josh)

When heresy rises in an evangelical body, it is never frank and open. It always begins by skulking, and assuming a disguise. Its advocates, when together, boast of great improvements, and congratulate one another on having gone greatly beyond the ‘old dead orthodoxy,’ and on having left behind many of its antiquated errors: but when taxed with deviations from the received faith, they complain of the unreasonableness of their accusers, as they ‘differ from it only in words.’ This has been the standing course of errorists ever since the apostolic age. Samuel Miller, Introductory essay, The Articles of the Synod of Dort (1841).
