isaiah_n 38.3.1_o ezekiah_n and_o other_o to_o desire_v of_o the_o lord_n long_a life_n and_o continuance_n upon_o the_o earth_n i_o confess_v in_o deed_n that_o all_o and_o every_o one_o of_o our_o action_n aught_o to_o be_v refer_v to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o the_o edification_n and_o profit_n of_o our_o neighbour_n neither_o doubt_v i_o but_o that_o if_o we_o solace_v ourselves_o

exercise_n a_o little_a as_o it_o be_v decay_v to_o refresh_v our_o spirit_n dull_v or_o overwhelm_v with_o some_o labour_n or_o study_n and_o all_o this_o we_o do_v to_o this_o end_n that_o we_o may_v afterwards_o when_o our_o duty_n require_v more_o joyful_o and_o cheerful_o give_v ourselves_o over_o to_o that_o call_n wherein_o it_o have_v please_v god_n to_o set_v we_o and_o may_v be_v thereby_o make_v the_o more_o fit_n and_o better_a able_a to_o perform_v the_o same_o i_o doubt_n not_o i_o say_v but_o that_o in_o the_o end_n this_o shall_v redound_v both_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n who_o by_o this_o mean_a we_o serve_v more_o ready_o and_o to_o the_o good_a of_o our_o neighbour_n who_o we_o be_v fresh_a and_o well_o dispose_v thereto_o may_v more_o easy_o and_o commodiouslie_o help_v accord_v to_o such_o ability_n as_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v us._n the_o nature_n and_o spirit_n of_o man_n may_v in_o my_o judgement_n be_v apt_o compare_v to_o a_o bow_n which_o how_o strong_a soever_o it_o be_v if_o it_o be_v always_o keep_v bend_v be_v not_o only_o in_o danger_n of_o mar_v but_o by_o that_o mean_n become_v both_o very_a weak_a and_o afterwards_o

to_o use_v ordinary_a and_o godly_a mean_n for_o the_o recovery_n of_o health_n and_o why_o i_o pray_v you_o shall_v it_o be_v less_o lawful_a to_o use_v lawful_a and_o honest_a mean_n for_o the_o

god_n and_o therefore_o we_o ought_v wary_o to_o shun_v and_o avoid_v both_o these_o extremity_n very_o in_o my_o judgement_n this_o shall_v be_v too_o great_a a_o cruelty_n in_o no_o wise_a to_o grant_v that_o a_o nature_n overmuche_o weary_v with_o study_n or_o a_o man_n overwrought_a with_o travail_n may_v not_o or_o shall_v not_o recreate_v himself_o and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n this_o be_v too_o great_a a_o leusenesse_n to_o let_v he_o use_v at_o all_o time_n lawful_a recreation_n or_o at_o any_o other_o time_n unlawful_a recreation_n i_o take_v play_v at_o honest_a and_o lawful_a game_n to_o be_v a_o thing_n allowable_a and_o lawful_a and_o to_o be_v of_o the_o number_n of_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v leave_v in_o christian_a liberty_n 5.13_o galath_n 5.13_o which_o liberty_n we_o must_v not_o abuse_v as_o a_o occasion_n unto_o the_o flesh_n but_o accord_v to_o such_o rule_n as_o god_n have_v leave_v for_o the_o lawful_a use_n of_o the_o same_o in_o his_o holy_a word_n wherefore_o i_o forbid_v not_o neither_o do_v i_o condemn_v all_o manner_n of_o play_n yea_o i_o think_v it_o not_o evil_a that_o sometime_o a_o christian_a man_n play_v and_o refresh_v himself_o provide_v always_o that_o such_o recreation_n and_o delight_n be_v in_o thing_n lawful_a and_o honest_a &_o that_o also_o with_o moderation_n or_o measure_n for_o it_o be_v not_o meet_v that_o man_n shall_v spend_v at_o play_n though_o the_o play_n itself_o be_v never_o so_o lawful_a either_o those_o thing_n or_o that_o time_n which_o god_n have_v allot_v he_o to_o other_o end_n and_o purpose_n for_o god_n have_v give_v he_o good_n for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o himself_o and_o his_o family_n and_o the_o relieve_n of_o those_o which_o want_v necessary_a succour_n and_o

he_o so_o that_o whosoever_o shall_v thus_o excessivelie_o and_o unlawful_o waste_v these_o good_a thing_n yea_o i_o say_v though_o it_o be_v at_o lawful_a game_n shall_v be_v subject_n to_o god_n heavy_a judgement_n for_o the_o miserable_a and_o wicked_a abuse_n of_o those_o his_o good_a gift_n and_o shall_v no_o doubt_n unless_o speedy_a and_o unfeigned_a repentance_n ensue_v feel_v the_o hand_n of_o god_n upon_o he_o for_o his_o sin_n and_o transgression_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o answer_n of_o they_o which_o think_v it_o not_o lawful_a to_o play_v at_o any_o game_n with_o somewhat_o also_o touch_v they_o which_o think_v it_o lawful_a to_o play_v at_o all_o game_n but_o these_o man_n shall_v be_v more_o particular_o and_o full_o answer_v in_o the_o discourse_n of_o this_o treaty_n and_o namely_o in_o the_o last_o chapter_n thereof_o ¶_o the_o four_o chapter_n touch_v the_o second_o point_n i_o fear_v not_o to_o affirm_v that_o it_o be_v unlawful_a to_o play_v

so_o to_o make_v gain_n of_o the_o same_o as_o concern_v both_o their_o person_n that_o be_v the_o winner_n and_o the_o loser_n i_o say_v general_o that_o they_o both_o do_v evil_a in_o this_o in_o turn_v upside_o down_o the_o nature_n of_o play_n and_o the_o end_n for_o which_o play_n and_o gamening_n be_v devise_v for_o whereas_o play_n be_v appoint_v in_o the_o beginning_n only_o for_o the_o

that_o man_n who_o when_o he_o have_v the_o possession_n of_o a_o thing_n in_o his_o own_o hand_n will_v by_o card_n dise_z and_o such_o other_o unlawful_a exercise_n make_v trial_n whether_o it_o

these_o two_o there_o be_v very_o little_a or_o no_o mean_a at_o all_o if_o he_o get_v it_o wrongful_o i_o think_v all_o the_o world_n will_v condemn_v he_o therefore_o because_o that_o though_o the_o
