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. No: but he hath need to prove his Proposition, unless he will have us to take it upon his word.

I. B. I only wonder that he saith: The use of Lots in ⟨p. 254⟩games hath been common in the Churches of God. What? In the public assemblies? as was the fault of women their heads uncovered in the Church at Corinth?

T. G. To put Mr. B. out of his wonderment; (you see how fain he would be quarrelling) I mean by the Churches of God, the whole multitude of men professing the faith of Christ, distinguished into particular Churches or Congregations, consisting of divers households and persons: among whom these lusorious Lots hath been frequent and ordinary in all ages, nor hath there been scruple made of them till of very late times. And by Mr. Bs. leave, the Apostle understandeth no other Churches, when he saith, sThe Churches of God have no such custom. But this is but tshooting beside the mark.
