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.

1. Because he only liveth of all those whom Mr. G. refuteth. Where in the Catalogue of those whom he saith I refute, he reckoneth some, as Zwinglius, whom I refute not at all, as not knowing certainly what they held, some that himself refuteth as well as I do, and that allow Cards and Tables as not simply unlawful, as Peter Martyr, Danaeus, and Perkins; that so both I might seem utterly to dissent from them concerning the lawfulness of those Games, whereas cI maintain no more concerning the lawfulness of them in themselves than they do, (though in our grounds, I confess, we differ) and that himself might seem, as the last man alive amongst them, to stand up in the defence of them, when as indeed he opposeth and impugneth them, and these Games, by them not utterly disallowed.
