Interesting. Gillespie's portrait hangs in the church in townsquare I think in Kirkcaldy which I think is now not a church per se but was several years ago when I was in contact with the session re the painting. I've lost touch and need to speak to email someone to be sure I can still use the artwork; if you happen to visit Kirkcaldy and plan to visit the church, see if you can find any contact info; I would me much obliged!

Yes. I'm staying in East Wemyss, which is about a 7-8 minute drive from Kirkcaldy. I just wandered down to the church (St Mary's, Wemyss). It was here that Gillespie first ministered having been the first clergyman not to be ordained by a bishop. (Well done young man!). One part of St Mary's is someone's house, the other part is looking the worse for ware. Apparently the owners want to sell it (for about 75,000 quid)! Any rich Puritan fans want to buy it and fix it up?

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.”
