a._n idem_fw-la tom_n 9_o colum_fw-la 4●4_n a._n to_o give_v our_o money_n unto_o a_o gamester_n which_o play_v with_o we_o and_o who_o we_o ourselves_o for_o our_o part_n make_v merry_a as_o well_o

uniustlie_o dispossess_v of_o his_o own_o &_o the_o other_o unlawfullie_o possess_v in_o that_o which_o be_v a_o other_o man_n neither_o will_v i_o here_o make_v any_o distinction_n of_o play_n or_o

evil_n to_o win_v it_o at_o unlawful_a game_n than_o otherwise_o ¶_o the_o v._o chapter_n we_o be_v now_o to_o declare_v which_o be_v play_v prohibit_v &_o unlawful_a touch_v which_o first_o i_o affirm_v that_o all_o such_o play_n as_o the_o law_n and_o custom_n of_o the_o country_n wherein_o a_o man_n do_v live_v forbid_v be_v to_o be_v hold_v as_o unlawful_a but_o yet_o with_o this_o condition_n that_o those_o law_n thus_o forbid_v such_o play_n be_v ground_v upon_o some_o honest_a and_o holy_a consideration_n otherwise_o if_o the_o magistrate_n forbid_v such_o play_n as_o
