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. This place so troubleth Mr. G. that from it he would have no more gathered, than that the whole event (as of all things, so) of a Lot, is of the Lord. Yet so, as working by means in the most of them, and not implying immediate providence universally in them.
I. B. This place so troubleth Mr. G. that from it he would haue no more gathered, than that the whole euent (as of all things, so) of a Lot, is of the Lord. Yet so, as working by meanes in the most of them, and not implying immediate prouidence vniuersally in them.
T. G. Rather this place so troubleth Mr. B. being indeed the only main bulwark of his cause, that like a man in a maze he runneth backward and forward, from Mr. Gs. to the Geneva translation, and then back to Mr. Gs. again, as not enduring the trial of, or trial by either. It is true, I aver it, nor doth Mr. B. himself here deny, but that the whole event of all things is of the Lord: nor have the words of the Text in the ordinary Translations any one word more of a Lot, and no necessary implication therefore of any immediate ⟨p. 183⟩providence in them, which Mr. B. would pick out of them.
