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.

T. G. What I grant, is to be seen. But by this Argument a man may as well prove, every pear-plum, or Lettuce-leaf, to be holy, because cby divine institution in the word, all herbs and fruits are for mans use. Mr. B. himself saw the slightness hereof: and addeth therefore to mend the matter:
