You have to ask your self, if you want to believe this or if this is done through a honest study.
This same view Nigel Lee has on his papper on Owen RE-PRESBYTERI-ANIZED, i heard from three convinced presbyterian pastor and scholars (one of them was "L.J van Valen" from the Netherlands, who read and studied Owen RE-PRESBYTERI-ANIZED) that in their view this view of Lee is very weak !
Even though they are convinced presbyterians (and studied church history and esspecially Owen), for them it was clear that Owen was a independed.
I think if you are a convinced presbyterian, you can say that Owen was one of the greatest Theologion, but that he was dead wrong on Congregationalism (ofcourse not me!)
