“A divine warrant is necessary for every element of doctrine, government and worship in the church; that is, whatsoever in these spheres is not commanded in the Scriptures, either expressly or by good and necessary consequence from their statements, is forbidden.” - John L. Girardeau, Instrumental Music in the Public Worship of the Church (1888), p. 9
