My instinct would be to pick David Dickson, but I would like to know what others think.
Dickson for proximity in time (his lectures were given shortly after the confession was completed, before 1650 if I recall correctly).

The Regulative Principle: Samuel Miller gives a succinct statement of this principle when he writes that since the Scriptures are the “only infallible rule of faith and practice, no rite or ceremony ought to have a place in the public worship of God, which is not warranted in Scripture, either by direct precept or example, or by good and sufficient inference.”
