For what it is worth, Wing also attributes WS to Gillespie.
I realize that Wing is not *always* correct, but again it
helps us to realize where the burden should be, viz. upon
someone who disputes the authorship of Gillespie.

To summarize: We have Simpson (Gillespie's cousin) via
Wodrow testifying in favor of Gillespie's authorship.  So
also, most mainstream historians have regarded this work
as Gillespie's (for a list check out the Archives at our
website and reference the message by Coldwell cited above).

If there are no messages disputing Gillespie's authorship,
I'm prepared to post the first section (to the gentle reader)
and we can discuss it.
