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.

I. B. But, (saith Mr. G. glad of any thing to plead for playing with a Lot) The use of a Lot in play is ever to decide some question or controversy truly so termed. If so, then he might have called it a serious Lot according to his doctrine, the lightness of the subject matter controverted not withstanding.

T. G. Mr. G. is not so glad of any thing to plead for playing with a Lot, as Mr. B. is aglad to lay hold on any thing to be girding at Mr. G. what a silly toy hath he found here to cast in his dish, that if any question ⟨p. 241⟩or controversy be by a lusoricus Lot decided, it may be by Mr. Gs. doctrine termed a serious Lot. If you ask how; you may go seek. But suppose it were so, (as he cannot, I know, make good,) what then?
