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. ⟨p. 265⟩To the same purpose writeth Paul to the Colossians against the Traditions of men, and will-worship, not for Mr. Gs. cause, but because in so worshipping they held not the Head, vers. 19. which is Christ, King of his Church, teaching and governing the same in all things.

T. G. The Apostle expressly condemneth one sort of the superstitious he there speaketh of, because they were mere awill-worships, and humane inventions (wherein let Mr. B. take heed lest he be found faulty in denying unto Christians the lawful use of Gods creatures upon conceits merely superstitious, as those false teachers then did) that is, as Piscator well, bbecause God was not the Author of them. Which is in effect for the very same cause that I aver. As for that of cnot holding the Head, it is not urged by the Apostle for any such purpose as Mr. B. here affirmeth, confounding and blending together those things that are to be distinguished; but against those that would have brought in the dAdoration of Angels, who in so doing the Apostle saith erelinquished Christ the Head, who is of himself all-sufficient to foster and propagate his Church, without such sending of his servants to seek assistance from any other.
