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.

How faithfully Mr. B. hath related mine Argument, 1any eye that compareth this his relation and it, may soon see. I say, A Lot may be used ordinarily in other civill affairs, be they weighty or of less weight, as my Proposition required that I should, and Mr. B. dealing as athe Devil did with Scripture, when he tempted our Saviour, clippeth away those last words (for ⟨p. 64⟩what purpose shall after appear) and relateth thus mine Assumption, But a Lot may be ordinarily used in other Civill affairs. If this be all faithfulness, I know not what faithfulness is. Here is but a bad beginning again, I am sure; and bthe worse, because the contrary is so solemnly and so seriously professed. But let us hear his Answer.
