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.

T. G. It seemeth that Mr. B. hath forgotten his own Assumption. If he have, I will make bold to put him in mind of it. It is this, The use of Lots directly, or of it self, and in special manner tendeth to the advancing of Gods Name, in attributing to his special providence in the whole and immediate disposing of them, &c. Here is a great deal more than barely tending to the advancing of Gods Name, which all things that are disposed by him (and twhat is not disposed by him?) in some degree or other do. A man might ⟨p. 178⟩marvel therefore rather why Mr. B. should not so much, but at all marvel at Mr. Gs. denial, that this place so understood, doth prove Mr. Bs. Assumption; yea, he might marvel, that Mr. B. should not see that it did not, if he remembered what his Assumption was.
