In Eccl. Hist., a small sect, who are called in Scotland Glassites, from John Glass, who, in 1727, denounced all Church establishments, and formed his followers after what he regarded as the primitive model. In 1755, the letters of his son-in-law, Robert Sandeman, led to the formation of similar bodies in London and elsewhere. The Sandemanians do not acknowledge the name.
