Gillespie

Gillespie, George (1613-48), a celebrated Presbyterian divine, was son of the parish minister of Kirkcaldy. He took an active part in the resistance to Laud's attempt to force the English service-book on the Scots, and in 1643 attended the Westminster Assembly as a representative of the Presbyterians. He wrote an able work, called Aaron's Bod Blossoming, in defence of Presbyterianism, and was made Moderator of the General Assembly just before he died.
