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.

For the same cause (say I) prayer to be expressed, or understood in the use of an ordinary Lot to.

T. G. You see, if a man grant Mr. B. what he will, he ⟨p. 209⟩can prove what he list. We had this before in the brief Answer at first: Why doth he trouble his Reader now with it again? But you see, he cannot go on an inch unless that be still granted; which will never be made good.
