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.

Here I have occasion to think, that I may have1 ⟨p. 20⟩some more comfort in mine opinion, than Mr. G. can have in his. For he nameth famous, learned and godly men concurring with me in Opinion. •ut in the multitude of his quotations, I find none approving Dice in play. And whereas some learned Divines, in some sort, allow Games consisting of Lot and wit, but altogether condemn Dice, Mr. G. defendeth mine Opinion, disapproving a mixed, as well as a mere Lot, because, as he saith, a true Lot is in either, p. 126. and he deemeth them to be amiss, who allow Lots in Game, and y•t add for a Caution, that religiousness be used in the action, in regard that holy things must be done in holy manner.
