Benjamin B. Warfield — The Making of the Westminster Confession, and Especially of Its Chapter on the Decree of God (from The Presbyterian and Reformed Review, xii. 1901, pp. 226–283).
Warfield’s study of the Westminster Assembly’s making of the Confession from its Minutes. The first part sets out how the Confession was made: the commission of the Solemn League and Covenant, the Committees and the order of their reports, the chapters one by one with the dates of their debate, and what the Assembly sent to Parliament. The second takes the third chapter, Of God’s Eternal Decree, and follows its formulation against the Irish Articles of 1615, with the three versions set in parallel columns and the debates on each section, especially the sixth.
