cautious_a and_o wary_a of_o dispose_v their_o money_n in_o any_o unprofitable_a adventure_n as_o any_o person_n whatsoever_o ld._n a._n then_o some_o man_n be_v strange_o mistake_v about_o this_o

perhaps_o it_o may_v be_v worth_a our_o enquiry_n at_o this_o time_n before_o it_o be_v better_a understand_v ld._n b._n it_o may_v so_o o_o here_o be_v a_o gentleman_n come_v in_o who_o be_v a_o

it_o my_o lord_n that_o i_o be_o in_o five_o hundred_o pound_n and_o here_o be_v a_o reverend_a divine_n who_o never_o be_v engage_v in_o any_o thing_n of_o this_o nature_n before_o who_o have_v

for_o it_o but_o i_o must_v beg_v leave_n to_o assure_v your_o lordship_n that_o it_o be_v not_o out_o of_o greedy_a lucre_n of_o gain_n or_o of_o a_o fortunate_a lot_n but_o some_o other_o reason_n that_o prevail_v with_o i_o which_o perhaps_o may_v have_v very_o little_a weight_n or_o credit_n with_o many_o other_o person_n and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v not_o trouble_v your_o lordship_n with_o

of_o it_o which_o to_o i_o seem_v real_o to_o want_v a_o interpreter_n dr._n my_o lord_n you_o have_v put_v so_o hard_o upon_o i_o that_o your_o lordship_n now_o force_v i_o to_o say_v something_o more_o than_o i_o intend_v my_o lord_n i_o be_o not_o fond_a of_o that_o thing_n call_v a_o lottery_n in_o general_a but_o on_o the_o contrary_a be_o very_o glad_a that_o all_o common_a game_n lottery_n be_v suppress_v but_o i_o humble_o conceive_v merch._n my_o lord_n the_o drawing_z of_o lot_n with_o submission_n be_v not_o malum_fw-la in_o se_fw-la nor_o any_o way_n scandalous_a in_o its_o own_o nature_n or_o else_o your_o lordship_n will_v never_o have_v concur_v to_o introduce_v the_o precedent_n of_o the_o million_o lottery_n that_o which_o be_v consistent_a with_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o king_n lord_n and_o commons_o assemble_v in_o parliament_n can_v never_o bear_v a_o reflection_n on_o the_o wisdom_n of_o a_o private_a person_n ld._n b._n what_o you_o say_v be_v true_a neither_o be_v we_o angry_a at_o the_o thing_n itself_o as_o you_o may_v observe_v by_o the_o favour_n show_v to_o the_o greenwich-hospital_n adventure_n but_o lottery_n have_v be_v general_o abuse_v since_o that_o time_n to_o ill_a purpose_n and_o many_o of_o they_o not_o fair_o draw_v merch._n there_o be_v many_o other_o thing_n that_o have_v be_v abuse_v to_o ill_a purpose_n as_o well_o as_o the_o draw_v of_o lot_n as_o to_o give_v your_o lordship_n one_o instance_n for_o all_o what_o do_v your_o lordship_n think_v of_o the_o law_n of_o england_n have_v not_o that_o law_n the_o best_a law_n in_o the_o world_n be_v abuse_v to_o ill_a purpose_n and_o what_o answer_n be_v make_v to_o that_o objection_n but_o this_o that_o in_o such_o case_n it_o be_v vitium_fw-la hominis_fw-la non_fw-la professionis_fw-la and_o there_o it_o be_v agree_v that_o such_o abuse_n by_o man_n ought_v to_o be_v restrain_v and_o regulate_v but_o without_o the_o least_o reflection_n nay_o indeed_o with_o a_o tacit_n commendation_n of_o those_o that_o make_v a_o right_a use_n of_o the_o law_n that_o do_v act_v fair_o and_o have_v the_o right_n on_o their_o side_n and_o this_o i_o conceive_v to_o be_v our_o case_n ld._n b._n you_o say_v well_o if_o your_o lottery_n be_v fair_o draw_v to_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o all_o person_n concern_v and_o not_o abuse_v to_o any_o ill_a purpose_n merch._n my_o lord_n as_o to_o the_o fairness_n of_o draw_v i_o must_v beg_v leave_n to_o acquaint_v your_o lordship_n that_o the_o mine-adventure_n be_v allow_v to_o exceed_v all_o and_o with_o due_a submission_n be_v it_o speak_v even_o the_o million_o lottery_n itself_o for_o though_o without_o doubt_n the_o million_o lottery_n and_o many_o other_o be_v very_o fair_o draw_v yet_o the_o mine-adventure_n ticket_n be_v subscribe_v with_o the_o party_n own_o handwriting_n which_o no_o other_o be_v do_v not_o only_o prevent_v fraud_n but_o all_o mistake_v which_o often_o happen_v when_o the_o party_n depend_v on_o the_o number_n of_o the_o ticket_n only_o but_o here_o the_o name_n of_o the_o adventurer_n be_v read_v as_o well_o as_o the_o number_n of_o the_o ticket_n and_o register_v by_o two_o clerk_n on_o oath_n as_o well_o blank_n as_o prize_n one_o correct_v the_o other_o that_o if_o the_o number_n of_o the_o ticket_n be_v mistake_v as_o it_o often_o happen_v in_o print_v read_v or_o enter_v yet_o the_o name_n of_o the_o adventurer_n write_v thereon_o be_v always_o right_a and_o can_v not_o be_v mistake_v and_o certain_o nothing_o in_o nature_n can_v be_v more_o fair_a and_o indeed_o all_o person_n concern_v have_v so_o acknowlede_v ld._n a._n that_o be_v exceed_o fair_a indeed_o and_o beyond_o all_o manner_n of_o exception_n but_o what_o say_v you_o to_o the_o other_o part_n of_o my_o lord_n objection_n be_v not_o the_o draw_v of_o lot_n in_o this_o case_n abuse_v to_o ill_a purpose_n merch._n my_o lord_n with_o submission_n i_o conceive_v if_o ever_o the_o draw_v of_o lot_n be_v allowable_a it_o be_v in_o this_o case_n for_o this_o be_v not_o in_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o common_a game_n lottery_n where_o the_o undertaker_n be_v to_o have_v so_o much_o per_fw-la cent._n out_o of_o the_o money_n adventure_v since_o no_o person_n gain_v a_o farthing_n by_o this_o adventure_n more_o than_o another_o unless_o by_o have_v better_a fortune_n but_o several_a gentleman_n be_v concern_v as_o partner_n in_o a_o mine_n and_o be_v entangle_v with_o many_o difficulty_n and_o lawsuit_n and_o know_v no_o other_o way_n to_o reconcile_v their_o difference_n do_v agree_v together_o to_o the_o draw_v of_o lot_n this_o be_v necessity_n not_o choice_n and_o seem_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o common_a law_n of_o england_n where_o one_o of_o the_o ancient_a division_n by_o daughter_n and_o heir_n as_o copartner_n be_v by_o draw_v of_o lot_n and_o this_o put_v i_o in_o mind_n of_o a_o pleasant_a story_n i_o have_v hear_v of_o a_o grand_a marshal_n of_o france_n who_o upon_o the_o conclusion_n of_o the_o war_n obtain_v to_o be_v a_o judge_n of_o a_o certain_a province_n where_o he_o behave_v himself_o very_o well_o and_o be_v command_v by_o the_o king_n to_o give_v a_o account_n how_o he_o be_v able_a to_o manage_v and_o give_v satisfaction_n to_o so_o great_a a_o province_n be_v not_o breed_v up_o to_o the_o law_n he_o confess_v and_o declare_v that_o there_o be_v three_o sort_n of_o cause_n that_o come_v before_o he_o some_o be_v so_o plain_a and_o evident_a that_o any_o man_n on_o hear_v counsel_n on_o both_o side_n may_v easy_o determine_v they_o other_o be_v more_o difficult_a and_o a_o little_a above_o his_o martial_a understanding_n he_o take_v time_n to_o consider_v of_o and_o after_o some_o conversation_n with_o the_o advocate_n on_o both_o side_n he_o discover_v who_o have_v the_o right_n in_o such_o cause_n but_o there_o be_v other_o so_o very_o nice_a and_o difficult_a that_o though_o he_o take_v a_o
