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.

If many and grievous sins attend Dice, Cards, &c. If those games be too too commonly abused, as he confesseth, p. 194. and if an indifferent thing may not be done which giveth occasion of sin: I wonder why Mr. G. writeth in defence of Dice, &c. And the more, because he granteth, that where the use and abuse of a thing are so enwrapped and entangled together, that they cannot easily be severed the one from the other, then the use of the thing it self (if it be unnecessary otherwise) would be wholly abandoned, p. 262, 263.
