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 could wish that Mr. B. had dealt in this business1 as fairly with me, as I have done with him: that he would have given me leave at least *to tell my tale in mine own words. The best is, mine own Text before related will help both to show what mine Arguments are, and how maimedly by Mr. B. they are ever propounded. But to the point.

I. B. Here I observe one of the faults which I found in the latter shape of the second Reason, to wit, The Conclusion containeth more than the premises. For the Conclusion saith, A Lot in game is agreeable to Gods word, and then it must be good of it self, which is more than not evil of it self. For that is good of it self, for doing whereof there is either precept or permission in Gods word, p. 137.
