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. In my Dialogue, to show that the Spirit sometime reasoneth from a matter of fact to a matter of right negatively, I quote these Scriptures, Joh. 8. 39, 40. 1 Cor. 11. 16.

This is Christs Logic, wherewith I dare find no fault. Neither doth Mr. G. For he saith nothing to it, because the Printer putteth for vers. 40. the 48. vers. wherewith Mr. G. maketh pastime. But I will let pass time now to take further knowledge of it.

This to make good, he setteth against his first ground in the margin, a quotation of those two places. The Printer, it seemeth, had misprinted the one, and directed me to a wrong place, where finding nothing that carried any the least semblance of confirmation for the Point propounded, it may be, I say, that
