Title
A prospective-glasse for gamesters: or, A short treatise against gameing : in which is contained a plaine and perfect manifestation of the inconveniencies, miseries and calamities which the user or practiser of unlawfull games doth bring upon himselfe, not onely in regard of his mortall body, but also upon his eternall soule.

Description
[4], 12 p. ; (4to)
Note
Wing identifies the author as John Philipot, 1589?-1645, but the attribution is unlikely. That John Philipot was Somerset Herald, 1624, and D.C.L. Oxford, 1643. He would not have referred to himself (or have been referred to posthumously) as Master in Arts. Further, as a royalist active on the side of the King, Philipot is unlikely to have had the gaming habits of the "youngmen and apprentices" of London uppermost in his mind. Foster and Venn list no John Philpot or Philipot (or variant) whose highest degree was Master of Arts and who was living in 1646 or shortly before.
The words "Drunkennesse. ... Swearing." and the words "Adultery. ... Theevery." are each enclosed in brackets on title page.
