of_o recreation_n do_v give_v i_o a_o check_n it_o be_v a_o check_n then_o i_o will_v try_v if_o i_o can_v avoid_v the_o mate_n the_o argument_n collect_v with_o all_o faithfulness_n as_o the_o rest_n and_o his_o answer_n be_v be_v this_o 1._o that_o which_o may_v be_v ordinary_o use_v in_o other_o civil_a affair_n be_v they_o more_o or_o less_o weighty_a may_v also_o be_v use_v for_o matter_n of_o

than_o out_o of_o other_o though_o serious_a yet_o civil_a affair_n 1._o be_v not_o this_o a_o fearful_a conclusion_n like_o the_o tenent_n why_o do_v not_o mr._n gataker_n conclude_v positive_o thus_o therefore_o a_o lott_n may_v be_v use_v for_o matter_n of_o recreation_n and_o delight_n he_o forsooth_o see_v we_o not_o can_v a_o blind_a man_n go_v stout_o on_o his_o way_n but_o bless_a be_v god_n mr._n gataker_n see_v well_o though_o not_o in_o this_o point_n bernardus_n non_fw-la vidit_fw-la omne_fw-la for_o if_o god_n have_v open_v his_o eye_n in_o this_o point_n he_o may_v have_v see_v plain_o what_o shall_v banish_v a_o lott_n out_o of_o disport_n more_o than_o out_o of_o other_o civil_a affair_n to_o wit_n because_o god_n allow_v a_o lott_n to_o be_v use_v in_o they_o but_o not_o in_o these_o and_o it_o be_v presumption_n of_o set_v purpose_n to_o employ_v god_n but_o as_o it_o may_v stand_v with_o his_o pleasure_n hereof_o more_o hereafter_o in_o mean_a while_n in_o further_a answer_n to_o this_o argument_n i_o deny_v the_o proposition_n thereof_o for_o a_o oath_n may_v be_v ordinary_o use_v in_o other_o civil_a matter_n yet_o not_o for_o matter_n of_o recreation_n whereof_o also_o more_o hereafter_o now_o i_o proceed_v to_o the_o 2._o reason_n which_o be_v set_v down_o in_o two_o shape_n the_o former_a be_v this_o 2._o that_o which_o best_a sort_v with_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o lott_n may_v a_o lott_n most_o lawful_o be_v use_v unto_o but_o the_o light_a matter_n best_a sort_n with_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o lott_n therefore_o about_o thing_n of_o that_o nature_n may_v a_o lott_n most_o lawful_o be_v use_v the_o proposition_n he_o prove_v thus_o great_a be_v the_o uncertainty_n of_o a_o lott_n therefore_o not_o fit_a to_o be_v use_v in_o any_o weighty_a affair_n 2_o a_o lott_n be_v sometime_o take_v for_o the_o instrument_n of_o purpose_n dispose_v unto_o casualty_n as_o the_n lott_n be_v cast_v 41_o into_o the_o lap_n and_o sometime_o for_o the_o event_n as_o give_v a_o perfect_a lott_n which_o howsoever_o it_o be_v casual_a in_o relation_n to_o the_o former_a yet_o fall_v out_o certain_o this_o or_o that_o by_o god_n

suppose_a reason_n if_o a_o lott_n in_o the_o former_a acception_n have_v not_o draw_v his_o religious_a eye_n from_o god_n as_o the_o only_a disposer_n thereof_o to_o be_v a_o lott_n in_o the_o latter_a acception_n so_o that_o i_o marvel_v much_o that_o he_o find_v a_o lott_n to_o be_v not_o fit_a to_o be_v use_v in_o any_o weighty_a affair_n for_o why_o divide_v the_o land_n of_o promise_n
