A just defence of certain passages in a former treatise concerning the nature and use of lots, against such exceptions and oppositions as have been made thereunto to Mr. I.B. Wherein the insufficiency of his answers given to the arguments brought in defence of a lusorious lot is manifested; the imbecility of his arguments produced against the same further discovered; and the point it self in controversy more fully cleared; by Thomas Gataker B. of D. and author of the former treatise.A iust defence of certaine passages in a former treatise concerning the nature and vse of lots, against such exceptions and oppositions as have beene made thereunto to Mr. I.B.

Whether Many Divines among us be of that1 mind or no, is more than I know. Nor list I to take notice what hath been either preached or published of that Argument by any. This I am sure of, that lour Law, though it condemneth Usury, it alloweth Lottery; and therefore the instance is not even in that regard as it ought, and is intended here to be.

Again, Was there ever any so troubled with 1playing with Lots? I doubt it. But without doubt thousands will now more boldly use Lusorious Lots, without regard of the Cautions, in these licentious times. As Usurers regard not the Cautions which Divines set down. For it is enough to them that some godly Divines affirm Usury to be lawful.
