the_o proposition_n be_v confirm_v by_o their_o definition_n of_o recreation_n to_o wit_n 1._o christian_a recreation_n be_v the_o exercise_n of_o something_o indifferent_a for_o the_o necessary_a

and_o will_v oft_o speak_v unaduised_o if_o by_o humane_a caution_n it_o be_v not_o limit_v before_o what_o it_o shall_v say_v §_o 13._o now_o these_o be_v the_o argument_n take_v from_o the_o

lot_n to_o a_o proper_a end_n viz._n to_o end_n controversy_n 18.18_o therefore_o man_n be_v not_o to_o pervert_v they_o to_o a_o worse_o viz._n to_o play_n and_o by_o play_v to_o get_v away_o another_o man_n money_n which_o without_o controversy_n be_v his_o own_o this_o argument_n thus_o conceive_v be_v faulty_a two_o way_n for_o first_o it_o go_v from_o the_o question_n which_o be_v

whereas_o in_o the_o conclusion_n it_o be_v take_v for_o grant_v that_o it_o be_v neither_o again_o be_v the_o question_n whether_o man_n may_v use_v lot_n play_v for_o money_n a_o thing_n incident_a to_o other_o game_n as_o well_o as_o these_o which_o whether_o it_o be_v lawful_a or_o no_o i_o shall_v not_o need_v now_o to_o discuss_v much_o less_o whether_o they_o may_v be_v use_v in_o game_n to_o that_o end_n to_o get_v another_o man_n money_n from_o he_o or_o no_o which_o be_v no_o general_a use_n of_o they_o nor_o have_v any_o place_n at_o all_o there_o where_o either_o there_o be_v no_o wager_v at_o all_o or_o where_o the_o lot_n be_v use_v only_o at_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o game_n to_o decide_v who_o shall_v join_v who_o lead_v or_o the_o like_a but_o whether_o lot_n may_v in_o any_o wise_a be_v use_v in_o sport_n second_o there_o be_v more_o infer_v in_o the_o conclusion_n than_o be_v in_o the_o premise_n and_o that_o which_o follow_v not_o from_o aught_o in_o they_o for_o the_o use_n of_o a_o lot_n in_o play_n be_v ever_o to_o decide_v some_o question_n or_o controversy_n though_o a_o light_n one_o it_o be_v like_a yet_o a_o question_n or_o controversy_n true_o so_o term_v otherwise_o it_o be_v no_o lot_n for_o the_o mend_n of_o these_o fault_n the_o argument_n may_v better_o be_v conceive_v on_o this_o manner_n that_o which_o god_n have_v sanctify_v to_o some_o proper_a use_n be_v not_o to_o be_v apply_v to_o any_o other_o especial_o a_o worse_a use_n but_o 3._o god_n have_v sanctify_a lot_n to_o this_o proper_a use_n to_o wit_n the_o decide_n of_o controversy_n in_o matter_n of_o weight_n a_o lot_n therefore_o may_v not_o be_v apply_v to_o any_o other_o use_n much_o less_o to_o a_o worse_o the_o proposition_n be_v prove_v by_o 7.11_o a_o instance_n of_o the_o temple_n set_v apart_o for_o prayer_n which_o the_o jew_n therefore_o be_v reprove_v for_o apply_v to_o market_n and_o merchandise_n the_o assumption_n be_v confirm_v principal_o by_o that_o say_n of_o solomon_n 18.18_o the_o lot_n stint_v strife_n and_o make_v partition_n among_o the_o mighty_a for_o 26.55_o the_o other_o place_n be_v but_o a_o instance_n that_o a_o lot_n

the_o apostle_n bring_v 1._o to_o prove_v that_o salomon_n purpose_n in_o those_o word_n before_o allege_a be_v to_o show_v the_o only_a lawful_a use_n of_o a_o lot_n viz._n to_o end_n controversy_n which_o otherwise_o convenient_o can_v when_o each_o contend_v without_o the_o lot_n be_v too_o mighty_a to_o yield_v thus_o ibid._n as_o when_o the_o apostle_n say_v 6.16_o a_o oath_n for_o confirmation_n among_o man_n be_v a_o end_n of_o all_o strife_n his_o purpose_n be_v not_o so_o much_o to_o teach_v we_o that_o man_n use_v a_o oath_n to_o end_v controversy_n which_o every_o man_n know_v but_o that_o god_n have_v dedicate_v and_o make_v a_o oath_n holy_a and_o sure_a only_a for_o that_o use_n of_o necessary_a decide_n of_o doubt_n of_o importance_n among_o man_n so_o the_o like_a word_n use_v of_o a_o lot_n must_v be_v understand_v in_o the_o same_o sense_n not_o so_o much_o to_o teach_v we_o that_o a_o lot_n end_v such_o controversy_n among_o man_n which_o all_o know_v but_o that_o god_n have_v ordain_v it_o only_o for_o that_o use_n §_o 14._o for_o the_o full_a answer_n to_o this_o argument_n and_o the_o proof_n of_o it_o diverse_a distinction_n of_o some_o good_a
