§ 13. In pecuniary penalties was this kind of Lot sometime employed, where the Offenders were too many to be all of them amerced. For so ⟨p. 80⟩Augustus of such as frequented not the Senate as they should, oenforced each fifth man that the Lot lighted on, to pay his fine for his absence, which was remitted to the rest. But in case of life & death was a very principal use of it. Where to pass by that Fable, fondly fathered upon Athanasius, of Melchi Melchisedecks Father, pwho having a purpose to sacrifice one of his sons, should cast lots first with his wife, whether he or she should choose one of them to be exempt from that hazard, and after that upon the rest of them (she having chosen Melchizedek by that means preserved) for one to be slain for a sacrifice: as also to let pass qthe Messenian Virgin that the Oracle demanded for the murder of Tists; rthe Trojan Kings daughter Hesione, whom the Poets fain the lot lighted on to be exposed to the sea monster: sthe 7. young-men, and as many Maidens that Min•s required from Athens yearly for the death of Androgeus: and tthe children that the Spartans used to sacrifice to Diana, till Lycurgus at length altered that inhumane practise. Nor to stay upon uthe Persian Kings tithing out his Magicians (reported in our Ecclesiastical stories) upon discovery of their frauds: or the misery of Cambises his army in his Ethiopian expedition, *who for want of victuals by Lot sequestered a tenth part of themselves for the rest to make meat of. And to glance but at that memorable and lamentable act and accident of the two xFlori ⟨p. 81⟩Father & son commanded by Augustus to cast Lots for their lives, whereof ythe one offered himself without Lot to be slain; and he being slain, the other thereupon slew himself. Most famous and frequent was zthe Roman practise in this kind, termed therefore by them their *Ancient law, or their Country custom: whose manner it was when some troops of their Soldiers had in the field aor Camp forsaken their colours, bleft their Stations, carried themselves ccowardly in fight, or ddisorderly otherwise, efor the frighting of all, and yet the saving of some, fto draw out by Lot hsometime more, sometime fewer, most usually ia tenth part of the whole number that were faulty, or gwere deepest in fault, kby an ignominious kind of execution to be made an Example to others;

§ 14. From this use of a Lot in general spring those figurative speeches and phrases, whereby not athat alone that by Lot is allotted any one, but bwhatsoever a man hath or holdeth, howsoever he come by it, by gift, purchase, descent, or cotherwise, ⟨p. 83⟩is yet termed his Lot. Among the Greeks more specially dan Inheritance is most usually and universally so termed. In way of reference whereunto, as God is said to be ethe portion of those that serve him, and they are said to be fhis Inheritance; so their right to glory and life eternal is said to be gtheir Lot, not so much, as some of the ancients have thought, hin regard of Gods free choice, as having respect to the general nature of a Lot, which neither regardeth ought in the party whom it favourably befalleth, nor is directed or determined at all in its motion by him; but because it cometh to them ias by way of Inheritance, an eye had to the particular use of it before specified in the settling of such estates. Hence it is also that in holy writ kto cast a Lot is put for to inherit: and that God is said lto have cast the Lot upon some places for wild beasts, and to have divided Lands and Countries out unto them by line; alluding to the courses used in dividing of Land by Lot and mline among such as were appointed to people and to possess it. And in a word whatsoever betideth men, be it good, or ⟨p. 84⟩be it evil, is said to be their nLot and their oallowance, in way of allusion to this divisory Lot, whereby Lands and Goods, either of inheritance, purchase, or prey, and parts or portions of diet, and rewards good and bad, have from time to time bin usually parted among many.

§ 1. Now that Lots of this kind are lawful being used with due Caution, most Divines acknowledge, howsoever the arguments that some of them bring, are not so sound many of them as were to be wished; and their Cautions the most of them are either unsound or superfluous, as upon the view and survey of some of them shall appear.

In the arguments alleged for them, the general error of most Authors is (that which hath also caused much mistaking otherwise) that they confound Ordinary and Extraordinary Lots the one with the other, and so reason without reason from the one to the other: As if a man should reason from aE•uds slaying of Eglon bto the Jesuits and Romanists murdering of Princes at this present, supposing them to be Heretics and Enemies to ⟨p. 85⟩Gods Church; or from cPhinehas his killing of Zimrie and Cozbi, dto the like execution done upon delinquents taken in the like act by some private person in these times; or from ethe Hebrews surprising of the Land of Canaan and rooting out of the Canaanites by Gods special appointment, to fthe Spaniards dispeopling of the West Indies, as they term them, in such places as they seized on; or to justify our seizing upon any other part of the world, and seeking in like manner to subdue or destroy the Inhabitants thereof.

True it is; God approveth whatsoever he commandeth. But Gods approbation of what he commandeth, giveth no warrant for what he doth not likewise command. That which this Author himself also well saw where he saith, that aThe examples of the Saints are not easily to be imitated. And again, that bwhat Joshua did, he did enjoined it by God, which no man may therefore take pattern to do the like by, unless he have the like commandment from God so to do. And what he saith of Joshua, may be said also of Samuel.

These examples some of them, as that of Matthias his and the former, were extraordinary actions, done by special warrant: others of them, as those of Saul and the Seamen upon Jonah and Jonathan though not expressly condemned, yet are not allowed, neither can well be justified; and others lastly ⟨p. 87⟩of them, as that of Zechariah, are of the point in question, and must by some other ground be proved warrantable.
