Each of the documents within the Westminster Standards were produced in fulfillment of the Solemn League and Covenant, including the “Directory for Public Worship”. For evidence of this, please note that the title pages of the various Westminster documents contain the phrase, “as a part of the covenanted uniformity in religion betwixt the churches of Christ in the kingdoms of Scotland, England, and Ireland.”

Even though it is unlikely that uninspired songs, outside of those God provided for his people (and possibly still inspired outside of the Psalms), were ever sung in public ecclesiastical services; that they may have very sporadically appeared at times of declension and apostasy is no argument for their lawful use — much less an argument for writing and singing *uninspired* songs today.
