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.

A third Motive is to take away much heartburning;1 Nay rather this justifying lusorious Lots, will not only cause more heart-burning; but encourage also Gamesters to over-crow such as are scrupulous.

Some have strained themselves to some inconveniences for not pledging drunken Healths, being drink-offerings to Bacchus. To prevent which hereafter should Mr. G. do well unto edification to preach and write in justification of these Healths?
