Two sermons, of Jonahs punishmentTwo sermons, of Ionahs punishment

They which doubt whether God do allow it, need but look how he doth prosper them that use it: but they trust not in God, (the terms of their occupation descry) for they call all their casts, chances, as though they relied not upon God, but upon chance. Therefore if dice make strife without cause, if they take away others goods for nothing, if we may not live by playing, but by labour, if they which have been dicers, repent it among their sins, if the holy men never used this recreation, but the worst most delight in it, if thou wouldest not have God see thee when thou playest at Dice, nor take thee at it when he comes to judgement, if nothing but pleasure and covetousness speak for them, if they do not prosper which take pleasure in it, if they trust not upon God, but rely upon chance, if thou doest not only venture thy money, but hazard thy soul, then the best cast at dice is, to cast them quite away.

They which doubt whether God doe allow it, neede but looke how he doth prosper them that vse it: but they trust not in God, (the termes of their occupation discrie) for they call all their casts, chances, as though they relyed not vpon God, but vpon chaunce. Therefore if dice make strife without cause, if they take away others goods for nothing, if wee may not liue by playing, but by labour, if they which haue beene dicers, repent it among their sins, if the holy men neuer vsed this recreation, but the worst most delight in it, if thou wouldest not haue God see thee when thou playest at Dice, nor take thee at it when hee comes to iudgement, if nothing but pleasure and couetousnesse speake for them, if they doe not prosper which take pleasure in it, if they trust not vpon God, but relie vpon chaunce, if thou doest not onely venture thy money, but hazard thy soule, then the best cast at dice is, to cast them quite away.

And the lot fell upon Jonah.

And the lot fell vpon Ionah.
