Q. Is it altogether unlawful to play for money?
Q. Is it altogether unlawful to play for mony?
A. I will not say it is altogether unlawful to play for money, provided that what you play for be but a small matter, of little value; which is to be measured according to the estate and quality of those who play.
3 Lawful Recreations are made unlawful, when they are used at unseasonable times; as on days of Humiliation, and on the Sabbath Day, in which time the Lord forbiddeth all men to seek their own pleasure.1
4 When they are so used as they raise a mans Passion unto anger, fury, and the like; or that they cause swearing, cursing, brawling, quarrelling, with the like evil effects. He that cannot moderate his Passion, nor rule his Tongue at Play, is not fit for it.
