John,
What is your source on this? C. Burges was on the special committee to do a first draft of a confession; but this work was later divided between the three grand committees and the second grand committee were assigned the chapter on Baptism and they were responsible for wording changes upon debate and any recommitting (at least on my quick look at Mitchell & Struthers I did not see any subsequent special committee assigned the work). Dr. Burges was on the first grand committee.

The Regulative Principle: Samuel Miller gives a succinct statement of this principle when he writes that since the Scriptures are the “only infallible rule of faith and practice, no rite or ceremony ought to have a place in the public worship of God, which is not warranted in Scripture, either by direct precept or example, or by good and sufficient inference.”
