To the Inhabitants of PENNSYLVANIA.
In the Pennsylvania Journal of November 30th, and in that of January 25th, an indiscriminate charge is brought against lotteries, as in their own nature irreligious, and ruinous to society in their consequences. It would be endless for me to mention, many lotteries car- ried on by the Trustees of the College of New Jersey, the governments of New York and Connecticut, and almost every other on the continent. Yet all these this writer brings under the general imputation of being the ene- mys of Religion and of the Poor, the abettors and pat- rons of the most contagious and dangerous vice. .
Is the use of lots forbidden by God in scripture? By no means; he ordered his chosen tribes to use them in the division of their inheritance. Are they contrary
