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.

The former Argument was propounded unfaithfully; 1this both unfaithfully and negligently. Unfaithfully, because divers enforcements of some branches are omitted, as by comparing mine and his may appear: Negligently, because the proof of the Assumption is here said to be the proof of the Proposition. Otherwise I acknowledge it indeed to contain for the main substance the matter of my principal Argument.

Mr. Bs. answer followeth.
I. B. ⟨p. 69⟩A Lot is taken sometimes for the instrument of purpose disposed unto Casualty, as [The Lot is cast1 into the Lap.] and sometime for the event, as [Give a perfect Lot.] Which howsoever it be casual in relation to the former, yet falleth out certainly this or that, by Gods whole disposing the former.
