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. B. First, I observe fearful shifting, and then unsound arguing. The former thus appeareth: He supposeth the thing must be lawful in it self, and disputeth only about the subject matter, &c.

T. G. True, I presume Recreation to be lawful in general. Dare Mr. B. or any man deny it? And yet I presume it not without proof neither. But you must remember that Mr. B. here sighteth not with ⟨p. 119⟩me or mine Argument, but f with a man of straw of1 his own making. In his Assumption this is presumed of Lottery: whereas I presume it of recreation, not of it.
