Glassite

Definition: A member of a Scottish sect, founded in the 18th century
by John Glass, a minister of the Established Church of Scotland, who
taught that justifying faith is "no more than a simple assent to the
divine testimone passively recived by the understanding." The English
and American adherents of this faith are called Sandemanians, after
Robert Sandeman, the son-in-law and disciple of Glass.
