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.

I hearing thereof by many sent him this message; 1If it would please him to send the substance of the Confutation (for I dare not rely upon report) I would either reply or change mine opinion with thanks to God for him; though for the present I thought he failed in Judgement, Discretion, and Charity.

By whom Mr. B. heard this I know not. If1 they told him ought that was untrue, the fault was not mine but itheirs; peradventure khis also, in being over-credulous in that which the party, whom he made use of between himself and me, could have informed him to be otherwise. And I cannot but wonder by the way, that Mr. B. who here telleth his Reader that he dareth not rely upon reports, yet hath not doubted upon bare report, (if any such were) especially having since the same been better informed, to avow peremptorily in print, that I confuted him by Name in open Pulpit.
