“If the Apostle justly prohibits the use of unknown tongues in the church, much less would he have tolerated these artificial musical performances, which are addressed to the ear only, and seldom strike the understanding, even of the performers themselves.”
Theodore Beza, as quoted in Instrumental Music in the Public Worship of the Church, by John L. Girardeau, Professor in Columbia Theological Seminary, South Carolina, Richmond: Whittet & Shepperson, 1888, p. 166.
