1 Corinthians14:7
7 And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe, or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped, or harped? .
In the Sounds which are artificially made by the use of Wind-Musick, or other Musick, nothing could be understood, if Art had not also devised a distinction in the Sounds; that one Sound should signifie one thing, another Sound should signifie another thing: So unless the Voice of the Teacher be significant to, and understood by the person instructed or taught, the Sound is of no use at all.
Marginal references: Or, Tunes.
