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.

T. G. 1. Not to question the exposition of the word mighty here and Gen. 6. 4. (albeit the word be unot the same also in either) which yet I believe Mr. B. is not able to make good. All granted that is here said, ⟨p. 237⟩how doth it hence appear, that the use of Lots is in that place of the Proverbs restrained to such quarrels or controversies, as Mr. B. here speaketh of? Or how appeareth it hence, that for some sinister end I put in those words? 2. If any Controversies but weighty, may by a Lot be decided; how holdeth the comparison between a Lot and an Oath, both by himself, and by those that herein concur with him, so oft used and urged, for the excluding off from light matters the use equally of either?
