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.

But by using Lots in sport we do so: therefore we may not use Lots in sport.
But by vsing Lots in sport we doe so: therefore we may not vse Lots in sport.
T. G. The Assumption they seem to prove on this1 wise. oTo call God to sit in judgement where there is no necessity so to do, or for the determining of trifles, is to tempt, nay to mock God: But by the use of Lots in sport, God is called to sit pin judgement where there is no necessity, for the determining of trifles. By the use of Lots in sport therefore we tempt and dishonour God. The Proposition is confirmed à simile, qby the King and Council, by whose government though we all live, yet were it a dishonour to them to be called upon by children to determine their sports.
