A. Such Gaming as is used in a covetous desire of getting from another, without giving him any thing valuable for it, is sinful in the winner and the loser; And another's covetous sinful consent to stand to the ⟨p. 341⟩hazard, maketh it not lawful for you to take it. You forfeit it on both sides, and the Magistrate may do well to take it from you both. But if a moderate wager be laid, only to be a penalty to the loser for being Confident in some untruth, it's just to take his wager as a penalty, and give it to the Poor. But the just Law of Exchanging rights by contract is, to take nothing that is another's, without giving him for it that which is worth it.
