to_o the_o mayor_n alderman_n and_o inhabitant_n of_o n._n that_o which_o heretofore_o i_o have_v propound_v to_o you_o right_a worshipful_a and_o belove_a in_o teach_v i_o do_v now_o publish_v to_o

reformation_n of_o so_o lewd_a a_o practice_n but_o whether_o i_o err_v or_o no_o which_o yet_o i_o will_v glad_o undestand_v 7._o for_o i_o ought_v not_o to_o teach_v a_o untruth_n though_o to_o god_n glory_n yet_o there_o be_v none_o zealous_a indeed_o against_o sin_n desirous_a from_o the_o heart_n to_o reclaim_v sinner_n and_o who_o deep_o consider_v the_o grievous_a abuse_n which_o accompany_v dice_v and_o card_v as_o horrible_a swear_n dangerous_a quarrel_a loss_n i_o say_v not_o of_o good_a hour_n but_o of_o night_n and_o day_n and_o the_o pitiful_a undo_n of_o too_o too_o many_o but_o will_v remembe_v that_o 12._o all_o thing_n be_v not_o expedient_a which_o be_v lawful_a and_o therefore_o abstain_v from_o such_o heathenish_a pass-time_n that_o if_o by_o their_o example_n they_o can_v reform_v they_o may_v be_v sure_o 9_o they_o do_v not_o confirm_v gamester_n in_o their_o inordinate_a walk_n which_o respect_n the_o 7._o injunction_n forbid_v minister_n to_o

will_v eat_v no_o flesh_n while_o the_o world_n stand_v so_o every_o true_a chistian_n shall_v say_v and_o that_o with_o more_o resolution_n for_o play_n be_v not_o so_o necessary_a as_o meat_n if_o play_n offend_v my_o brother_n who_o see_v i_o have_v knowledge_n play_n be_v bolden_v to_o follow_v game_n i_o will_v not_o play_v while_o the_o world_n stand_v which_o care_n unto_o edification_n if_o all_o who_o have_v the_o 17._o word_n in_o their_o mouth_n and_o will_v not_o be_v think_v to_o hate_v to_o be_v reform_v will_v manifest_v in_o their_o sincere_a conversation_n and_o if_o

not_o but_o that_o preach_v and_o write_v against_o they_o will_v more_o mighty_o prevail_v and_o this_o good_a will_v come_v of_o it_o many_o will_v apply_v themselves_o to_o better_a exercise_n there_o will_v be_v less_o time_n misspend_v in_o alehouse_n and_o god_n less_o provoke_v to_o displeasure_n against_o us._n but_o these_o thing_n i_o refer_v to_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o

professor_n sir_n howsoever_o i_o be_o persuade_v by_o that_o which_o i_o read_v in_o the_o common_a place_n of_o peter_n martyr_n par._n 2._o pag._n 525._o b._n that_o dice_n condemn_v both_o by_o the_o civil_a law_n and_o by_o the_o father_n be_v therefore_o unlawful_a because_o they_o depend_v upon_o thaunce_z yet_o not_o satisfy_v with_o that_o which_o he_o write_v of_o table-playing_a pag._n 526._o b._n i_o will_v crave_v your_o opinion_n concern_v play_v at_o table_n and_o card_n preacher_n save_v the_o judgement_n of_o so_o excellent_a a_o divine_a so_o far_o as_o i_o can_v learn_v out_o of_o god_n word_n card_n and_o table_n seem_v to_o i_o no_o more_o lawful_a though_o less_o offensive_a the_o dice._n for_o table_n play_v be_v no_o whit_n the_o more_o lawful_a because_o plato_n compare_v the_o life_n of_o man_n thereunto_o than_o a_o thief_n be_v the_o more_o justifiable_a because_o christ_n compare_v his_o second_o come_v to_o burglary_n in_o the_o night_n matt._n 24._o 43._o 44._o again_o if_o dice_n be_v whole_o evil_a because_o they_o whole_o depend_v upon_o chance_n than_o table_n and_o card_n must_v needs_o be_v somewhat_o evil_a because_o they_o somewhat_o depend_v upon_o chance_n therefore_o consider_v well_o this_o reason_n which_o condemn_v the_o one_o aswelas_n the_o other_o lot_n be_v not_o to_o be_v use_v in_o sport_n but_o game_n

in_o sport_n preach_v consider_v with_o regard_n these_o three_o thing_n first_o that_o we_o read_v not_o in_o the_o scripture_n that_o lot_n be_v use_v but_o only_o in_o serious_a matter_n both_o by_o the_o jew_n 16_o jos_n 18._o 10._o and_o gentile_n jon._n 1._o 7._o second_o that_o a_o lot_n in_o the_o nature_n thereof_o do_v as_o necessary_o suppose_v the_o special_a providence_n and_o determine_a presence_n of_o god_n as_o a_o oath_n in_o the_o nature_n thereof_o do_v suppose_v the_o testify_a presence_n of_o god_n yea_o so_o that_o as_o in_o a_o oath_n so_o in_o a_o lot_n prayer_n
