I Missed That One

I just recently noticed this blip from the preface to Westminster Confession of Faith as presented on the PCA website:

Other than these changes, and the American amendments of Chapter XXIII on the civil magistrate (adopted in 1789), this is the Confession and Catechisms as agreed upon by the Assembly of Divines at Westminster which met from 1643-1647. The Caruthers edition of the Confession and Catechisms, which is based upon the original manuscript written by Cornelius Burgess is the Edition presented to and adopted by the First General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in America.

Cornelius Burgess was a high sacramentalist who sat on the Westminster Assembly's committee that drafted the baptism sections of the standards. He also known for writing the book "The Baptismal Regeneration of Elect Infants."

You may need to stop paying attention to detail (ignore that man behind the curtain).

We must now pretend that Cornelius Burgess was actually the Confederate chaplain to Stonewall Jackson.
