;;6. A real, essential, true and lively expressing of the very substance of another: In this signification is Christ said to be the Image of God his Father, Col. 1. 15. Heb. 1. 3. Also, the Law is said, not to be the very Image of the things, Heb. 10. 1. And it is written of us, that As we have born the Image of the 〈◊〉 , so we shall bear the Image of the heavenly 〈◊〉 . 1 Cor. 15. 49. And the Revelation of St. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 of the Image of the Beast, which all men shall adore, Rev. 14. 9. In all which places is meant the very things and substances themselves, or the solid and true existence of the things. These be essential Images, which have the substance of the things whereof they be called Images.

;;7. Any manner of resemblance whatsoever, lawful or unlawful, lively or painted, true or imaginary. Gen. 5. 3. He begat a child in his own likeness, after his own Image. Psal. 73. 20. Thou shalt make their Image despised. Where the 〈◊〉 Image signifieth an imaginary vanishing shadow, to set forth the lightness and inconstancy of all earthly things, which seem and make show to be the true goods and 〈◊〉 itself, yet are nothing but a shadow or vain likeness thereof: therefore by the Apostle are called a shape, fashion, or figure, 1 Cor. 7. 31. Rom. 12. 2.

It's taken,

• 1. Essentially, as Christ is the Image of his Father, Heb. 1. 3. 2 Cor. 4. 4. Col. 1. 15.
• 2. Accidentally, respecting qualities spiritual and heavenly, Gen. 1. 26, 27.

• 4. Mystically, Rev. 13. 14, 15. & 14. 9, 11. & 15. 2. & 16. 2. & 19. 20. & 20. 4.
• 5. Representatively, by God's Ordinance, in rule and authority, 1 Cor. 7. 6.
• 6. 〈◊〉 , Mat. 22. 20.
• 7. 〈◊〉 , as in apparition, a vanishing shadow, Job 4. 16.
• 8. 〈◊〉 , for men's persons walking in a vain shadow, Psalm 39. 6. or, for their transitory estate, Psal. 73. 20.
• 9. Idolatrously, when an Image is made either of the false God, as of Baal, 2 King. 3. 2. Rom. 11. 4. or, of the true God, which is forbidden, Exod. 20. 4. Deut. 16. 22 or, of the creatures, to worship them, Deut. 4. 16, 17, 18. where the 〈◊〉 is also forbidden.

Of Images there were greater and lesser, some carved, molten, graven, of gold, silver, wood, &c.

Image of the beast]

;;Not a picture set up to represent one (such as Painters make for their gain sake.) Neither any bodily Image, made to be worshiped and honored as 〈◊〉 Images set up in the Churches for religious worship be.) But the express and lively portraiture and representation of the Honor, Kingdom, Power, and Sovereignty, which the first Beast (to wit, the Roman Heathenish Empire) had: and the second Beast (to wit, Ecclesiastical Rome ) sought to revive. Rev. 13. 14. That they should make an Image of the Beast.

He caused the people to renew and receive a new restored 〈◊〉 , and image of that long vacant Empire of the West, which had received that deadly wound by the sword of the 〈◊〉 , and 〈◊〉 , and Vandalls. Hall.

By their sword the power of the Empire was broken, the Beast was wounded, and lay dead for the space of 300 years, even until Carolus Magnus was made Emperor. Now the Imperial 〈◊〉 being the Beast wounded deadly by a Sword, it cannot be the image of the wounded Beast also. So that the image of the first Beast, is the erected Papal power at 〈◊〉 in the place of the Imperial: for in the time that the Empire lay dead and wounded, and in effect was not, up starteth the Pope, and he leapeth upon the back of that same Beast, whereupon the Emperor had rid before him, to wit, the Roman State, for that is still the body of the Beast; and he raiseth up a new image of the old Empire at Rome, as like unto it, as possible an Image can be to that which it representeth, for the names being changed only, the similitude of both is evident, as in largeness of Dominion, similitude of Government, Tyranny, Idolatry, &c. Cowper.

The Universal Headship, as a Representative of that Sovereign Majesty that was formerly lost in Rome Imperial, but now repaired in Rome Papal, is the Image of the Beast, saith Mr. Stephens in his plain and easy Calculation of the Name, Mark, and Number of the Name of the Beast, pag. 181.

To worship the Image of the Beast]

;;To adore and give divine honor unto the Pope, (who bears the Image of the Heathenish Emperor) by 〈◊〉 a divinity in him; which whosoever refused to do, though they were Kings and Emperors, they lost not only their living and dignity, but their head and life too; whereof the Ecclesiastical Stories give plentiful proof. Rev. 13. 15. As many as would not worship the 〈◊〉 , should be killed. Rev. 16. 2.

Image of God]

;;Christ, in whom God is to be seen and beheld, as touching his substance and glorious properties: as a man is to be known by his image or picture. 2 Cor. 4. 4. Which is the image of God. This is a consubstantial image, respecting essence and substance.

;;2 Dominion and perfect holiness. Gen. 1. 27. In the image of God created he him. This image is accidental, respecting qualities.

;;3. Authority and power, which by God's Ordinance the man hath over his wife. 1 Cor. 11. 7. He is the image of God.

God's image is in Man, and in Christ.

In Man,

• 1. By Creation; and so it is in all men even the worst men, in as much as there is in them an aptitude to know and conceive of God, &c.
• 2. By 〈◊〉 -creation; and so it is in holy men, that do actually and habitually conceive of God, &c. but this is unperfectly.
• 3. By similitude of glory; and so the blessed in heaven 〈◊〉 of, and resemble God, and that ( 〈◊〉 comparison of the two former) perfectly.

Christ is the image of God,

• 1. In operation, because it is he that worketh God's image in us.
• 2. In 〈◊〉 , because he appeared for God to the Fathers in the Old Law.
• 3. In Person; and that in both natures, both as God and Man.

For, the most perfect image of God is, Christ God; the perfect image of God, is Christ-man. The imperfect image of God, is Man. He is the perfect image of God, as he is God, Phil. 2. 6. 〈◊〉 . 1. 4. and this image is an infinite image, like the thing resembled; and this is the same in number, not in specie only, with the thing 〈◊〉 .

He is also the image of God as he is Man, 1 Tim. 3. 16. and that,

• 1. As the God-head dwells in Christ bodily; in respect of the unutterable presence of the divine nature.
• 2. As by his miracles and 〈◊〉 works he manifested his Divine nature, and shown God in the world.
• 3. As his Human nature is qualified with knowledge, righteousness, purity, and other gifts. For if man be God's image in respect of this, Christ is so much more.

Christ then as he is God, is not only the image of the invisible image of God; but as man, he is the visible image of the invisible God. Byfield on Col. 1. 15. p. 110, 111.

How Christ is the image of God, how the Angels are God's image, and how Man is God's image, see further in Byfield on Col. 3. 10. p. 68, 69, 70.

Image]

Heb. 1. 3. The express Image of his Person. There is nothing in the person of the Father, but it is expressed in lively colors in Christ. He that beholdeth the one, beholdeth the other, 〈◊〉 . 14. 9. Col. 1. 15. The eternity of the God-head, his wisdom, power, justice, and goodness may be seen in Christ. 〈◊〉 . See Ingraved sorm.

Being joined with reproof, Job 6. 26. Wrongfully, Ibid. 21. 27. A vain thing, Psal. 2. 1. Act. 4. 25. Deceit, Psal. 38. 12. Mischief, Psal. 62. 3. Evil against the Lord, Nah. 1. 9, 11. Zach. 7. 10. & 8. 17. Devices, Psal. 10. 2. A mischievous device, Psal. 21. 11.

Images, or 〈◊〉 of silver, gold, &c. ]

;;Pictures made of gold and silver, for religious use, and divine adoration, whereof Papistry is full. Rev. 9. 20. That they should not worship Images (or Idols) of silver, gold, &c.

To imbalme]

Imbraced]

Heb. 11. 13. Were persuaded of them, and embraced them, laid hold on them. It may be an allusion to the custom of saluting one another by embracings or laying hold of each other.

〈◊〉 ]

Exod. 28. 39. 〈◊〉 shalt embroider the coat of fine 〈◊〉 ; or, thou shalt weave with circled work. The Embroidery or 〈◊〉 workmanship was in the weaving; for of all the Priests garments none was made of Needle-work, but of 〈◊〉 work, Exod. 39. 22, 27. Ainsworth.

Imbroiderer]

Between the cunning Work-man, mentioned Exod. 26. 1. marg. and the Imbroiderer, mentioned Exod. 35. 35. the Hebrew Doctors put this difference. Wheresoever it is said in the Law, The work of the Imbroiderer; that is, when the figures which are made in the weaving are 〈◊〉 but on the one side; but The work of the cunning workman; that is, when the figures are seen on both sides, before and after. Ainsworth on Exod. 26. 1. Imbroiderer, or Weaver with Tinsell work. The embroidery or cunning workmanship was in the Weaving; for of all the Priests Garments, none was made of Needle-work, but of Wovenwork, Exod. 39. 22. 27.

A replenishing; or, 〈◊〉 . The Father of Micaiah, 1 King. 22. 8, 9. called 〈◊〉 , in 2 Chr. 18. 7.

Immah]

The Father of Kore, 2 Chron. 31. 14.

;;The strong God with us, or God made flesh, Isa. 7. 14. Matt. 1. 23. Joh. 1 14. The union of two natures in one person of our Redeemer, is noted in this word Immanuel. Also, his office is noted to be 〈◊〉 God and Man, and Author of all salvation for body and soul, both temporal and eternal, Isa. 8. 10.

Immediately]

It's all one with, Forthwith, incontinently, in that very hour, in that very time, and is spoken of time, Mat. 24. 29. Of what may happen without interposition of anything between, Mar. 4. 5. Luk. 5. 13. Act. 3. 7. Gal. 1. 16.

Immer]

Saying, or speaking; or, after the Syrian, a Lamb. The Father of Meshillemith, 1 Chr. 9. 12. One to whom the sixteenth lot befell, 1 Chr. 24. 14. A Priest, 〈◊〉 . 2. 36, 37.

Immortal]

;;That which is not capable of death or subject to die.

;;2. An ever-during Nature, which is so of itself, without possibility of perishing or dying. 1 Tim. 1. 17. To God, immortal, only wise. Thus is God only immortal.

;;3. That which being once dead, shall rise again never to die more, as men's bodies. 1 Cor. 15. 53. Mortality must put on Immortality.

;;4. That which shall never have end, though it have a beginning; as Angels, and men's souls; of which though it be not in express words said in Scripture, that they be Immortal, yet innumerable places by good consequence prove them to be lo, as 1 Cor. 15. 19. 2 Cor. 5. 1. Luk. 16. 22, 23, 24, &c.

;;Something may be called Immortal sour ways.

;;First, that which simply and every way is incorruptible, as God, 1 Tim. 1. 16.

;;Secondly, that which is incorruptible according to the substance and perfection of nature, either being severed wholly, or not derived at all out of any matter, which is usually the root of corruption. Thus Angels and Souls be immortal.

;;Thirdly, that which in its own nature is corruptible, yet by special divine ordinance is preserved from corruption. Thus bodies of Saints in Heaven, and of Reprobates in 〈◊〉 after the Resurrection, be immortal; the one by 〈◊〉 , the other by Justice.

;;Fourthly, that which so hath possibility to corrupt and die, that it might not actually corrupt by the 〈◊〉 gift, and upon supposition of not sinning: so Adams body before the Fall was immortal, that is, had power not to die; as after his Fall it was under necessity of death, and could not but die.

Immortality]

Immutability]

Heb. 6. 17.

The Son of Helem, 1 Chr. 7. 35.

Imnah]

The Son of 〈◊〉 , Ibid. 7. 30.

Impart]

The Original 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 〈◊〉 rendered in Rom. 12. 8. by give, in Ephes. 4. marg. by 〈◊〉 . It's spoken of a work of Charity, Luk. 3. 11. of a duty by office, Rom. 1. 11. 1 Thess. 2. 8.

Impediment]

Had an impediment 〈◊〉 his speech, Mat. 7. 32. that is, did stammer, flutter, could not speak well, 〈◊〉 with much difficulty pronounce his words. The Original 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , is usually taken for a trifler, vain-talker. Leigh Annot.

〈◊〉 ]

That cannot, or knoweth not how to repent, Rom. 2. 5.

Impetions]

Ezek. 16. 30. bearing rule or sway, having the 〈◊〉 or power in her own hand, being in the exercise thereof obstinate, head-hardy.

Implacable]

Rom. 1. 31. Unappeasable, whose malice admits no terms of truce, much less of hearty reconcilement, haters of peace, wholly for war. Such as will never be reconciled, or pacified, when they are once moved, or have taken any quarrel in hand; intractable, without friendship or peace, who being once 〈◊〉 , will never be reconciled again, will admit of no league, covenant.

Implead]

Act. 19. 38. The Original 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , signifieth properly, To call one into Law, to enter action or suit against him in some open Court, to indite him, to accuse 〈◊〉 with some evil, and charge him with some crime before a Judge, as Act. 23. 28, 29. & 26. 7. Rom. 8. 33.

Importunity]

;;Continuance or constancy in prayer, when 〈◊〉 pray and faint not. Luk. 11. 8. Yet doubtless because of his importunity, he will give him what he needeth. Example of this importunity is in Luk. 18. 2, 3, 4, &c. The poor widow.

Imposed]

Heb. 9. 10 The Original 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , is rendered in Luk. 5. 1. pressed, Luk. 23. 23. To be instant, Joh. 11. 38. To lie upon, 1 Cor. 9. 16. or lie on, Act. 27. 20. It noteth such an imposition as is with pressure.

Imposition of hands, or laying on of hands]

;;Putting on of hands, which is an ancient ceremony used of the Jews, in two cases, one in consecrating public Sacrifices, as also Priests and Levites, to declare such to be offered to God. Lev. 4. 4. And secondly, in solemn benedictions and prayers. Gen. 48. 14, 17, 20. Jacob put his hands upon Manasseh and Ephraim, and prayed for them. It was continued under the Gospel by Christ and his Apostles in time of prayer, and bestowing spiritual graces. Also, in time of admitting Church-officers, Ministers, and Deacons. Mat. 19. 15. Christ put his hands on little children, and prayed. Act. 6. 6. The Apostles prayed, and laid their hands on the Deacons Act. 8. 17, 18. Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the holy Ghost; and by a Metonymy of the sign, it doth signify the whole Ministrey of the Church, and the order of Church-government. Heb. 6. 2. The doctrine of Baptism, and Imposition of hands. Touching the Papists Imposition of hands, in the Sacrament of Order (as they call it) there is no ground for it in the whole Scripture.

Impossible]

1. That which cannot be done or brought to pass, through the want of strength and power, Exod. 8. 18. Psal. 139. 6. Jer. 13. 23. Mat. 7. 18. Therefore, what is with m • n unpossible, with God is possible, Mat. 19. 26. For with God nothing shall be impossible, Luk. 1. 37. Unto him all things are possible, Mar. 14. 36. And there is nothing impossible unto a Believer, Mat. 17. 20. but all things are possible, Mar. 9. 23.

2. That which is not voluntary, or what one may do, but will not, Gen. 34. 14. Psal. 101. 4. Mat. 16. 3. comp. with Luk. 12. 56.

3. That which cometh not easily to pass, or very rarely, Matth. 5. 14. Mar. 9 29, 39. Joh. 7. 7. And so that may be said to be impossible, which cannot be done without great difficulty and danger, Josh. 15. 63. & 17. 12. 2 Sam. 17. 17. which through danger none durst undertake. That also which is unusual, Gal. 4. 15. Gen. 43. 22. Isa. 49. 15. Joh. 5. 19.

4. Which cannot be done by reason of immutability of God's council and decree, Gen. 19. 22. And so it was not possible that the Cup should pass from Christ, Mat. 26. 39. 42. It is not possible that the Elect should be deceived, Mat. 24. 24. And without faith it is impossible to please God, Heb. 11. 6.

5. That which cannot be in any wise and absolutely be, or befall, Act. 2. 24. 2 Tim. 2. 13. Heb. 6. 18.

6. That which is not convenient, just, or lawful to be done, or which ought not to be done, Mat. 9. 15. Act. 10. 47. & 25. 11. 1 Cor. 10. 21. & 12. 21. 2 Cor. 13. 8. Gen. 34. 14. Numb. 22. 18. & 24. 13. And so that is impossible which is not exped • ent or profitable, 1 Cor. 3. 1. Which cannot be done without great trouble, and no less detriment, Luk. 11. 7. Joh. 6. 60. Gal. 4. 15. Which cannot be done without the breach of God's commandment, Gen. 19. 22.

Impossible]

Heb. 6. 4. It is impossible for those who were once enlightened, &c. namely in respect of God's wisdom and justice, giving them up unto an impenitent heart. Annot.

Impotent]

Josh. 5. 3, 7. Act. 4. 9. The Original 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , is also rendered in Mat. 25. 39. sick. Mat. 26. 41. weak. Act. 5. 16. sick folks. Rom. 5. 6. without strength. 1 Cor. 1. 27. the weak things. 1 Cor. 12. 22. feeble. 1 Thess. 5. 14. feeble minded.

It signifieth one that is of small strength, or strenghthlesse, as the Greek word (derived of • private. & 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , strength ) importeth. Sometime it signifieth that which is so weak that it hath no strength, 1 Cor. 15. 43. Rom 5. 6. & 8. 3. Heb. 7. 18. The Law could bring nothing to perfection, Ibid. 19. And the Original 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , signifieth, to be sick, weak, languish, Mat. 10. 8. Mark 6. 56. to be diseased, Joh. 6. 2.

Impotent in his feet, Act. 14. 8. 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , who being a cripple, could not use his feet, stand, walk, run, leap, &c.

Impoverish]

is all one with, make poor, thrust out of possession, Jer. 5. 17.

Immprisonment]

The detaining or restraining of one in prison, Ezra 7. 26.

Impudent]

One that hardeneth his face, Prov. 21. 29. hath an whorish forehead, Jor. 3. 3. refuseth to be ashamed, Ibid. cannot blush, is not ashamed, Jer. 6. 15. See Prov. 7. 13. Ezek. 2. 4. & 3. 7.

Impudent]

〈…〉 ith an impudent face, Prov. 7. 13. Heb. she strengthened her face, marg.

Imputation]

;;Accounting, reckoning and allowing some things to others, of favor, as Merchants, who do not put the debt in their reckoning which they will forgive. Whatsoever cometh of Imputation, proceedeth of the mere mercy, and of him that imputeth; and is not given in reward, after proportion of duty or debt. For no man imputeth to another that which is duly owing unto him.

;;2. An action of God, freely accounting the righteousness of Christ to be his righteousness, who believes in Christ. Rom. 4. 3, 4. And it was imputed (or accounted) to him for righteousness. In Rom. 4. this word [ Imputed ] derived by Popish Heretics, is seven times repeated in the doctrine of Justification, and is joined unto Faith; without which there is no imputation of Christ's Justice to us, Rom. 4. 23. Our sins and punishments were imputed to Christ (who bare our sins in his body, and was made sin for us, 1 Pet. 2. verse. last.) And his righteousness with the merit thereof (even eternal bliss) is imputed and accounted to all believers; whence ariseth justification of a sinner before God. 2 Cor. 5. v. last, He that knew no sin was made sin for us, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. Not our righteousness, but the righteousness of God; not in us, but in him (saith an ancient Father.)

;;The Papists scoffing at this most necessary and divine action of imputing righteousness to faith apprehending Christ, calling it in their Notes printed at Reims, a Newno-justice, an untrue imputation, an imaginary thing, a putative righteousness, a fantastical apprehension: In these and such like taunts, they utter so many blasphemies against heaven, and all to maintain and establish their own righteousness of Works done after Faith.

;;To impute (as some describe it) is to ascribe or account unto another that which he hath not; or that which he did not; and not to impute, it signifieth, not to account or ascribe and lay to one that which he hath or doth. According to this interpretation, God in justifying elect sinners, imputeth to his own Son sins and miseries which he never had or did. And unto sinners he imputeth, or accounteth not (but forgiveth) sins and punishment, which they had and did; and imputeth righteousness (even the whole obedience of Christ) which they have not of their own, yet so accounteth it to them, as if by themselves it had been done, 2 Cor. 5. 21. Rom. 4. 5. Rom. 3. 24. & 4. 6. & 15. 19. Isa. 53. 12.

;; Note: Imputation being properly used, noteth a righteousness by grace and and acceptation; but improperly, when it is joined with other words, as Rom. 4. 4. 1 Cor. 4. 1. then it signifieth desert and debt, quite contrary to his natural signification, even as the word Profane soundeth a foul and damnable thing, but not so in Matth. 22. 5.

;;There is a double imputation.;;

• ;;I. Of sin, and this threefold:;;
• • ;;1. Of Adams sin unto us his posterity, Rom. 5. 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19. 1 Cor. 15. 22.;;
  • ;;2. Of his and ours together unto Christ, 2 Cor. 5. 21. 1 Pet. 2. 24.;;
  • ;;3. Of every man's to and for himself, Act. 7. 59.;;
• ;;II. Of righteousness, threefold:;;

• • ;;1. Of Christ's passive obedience or satisfaction to his Father for mankind, 2 Cor. 5. 21. Rom. 3. 22. 24, 25, 26, 28. & 4. 3, 4, 22. & 5. 15. 17, &c. 1 Cor. 15. 22. to which some add the Active righteousness of Christ.;;

    ;;But this is made a question.;;

    ;;This is imputed to penitent sinners.;;

  • ;;2. Of one man's goodness or holiness to another, which seemeth probable by these places (besides the common opinion of the Fathers) Mat. 9. 2. 1 Cor. 7. 14. Gen. 18. 26, 28, 29, &c. Gen. 39. 5, 23. Act. 28 34.;;

    ;;Yet this is only for this life. Else it shall be as Luk. 17. 34, 35.;;

  • ;;3. Of every man's own to himself, Gen. 15. 6. Jam. 2. 23. Psal. 106. 31.;;

Impute]

〈◊〉 ]

;;A perfume, which was a confection of sweet spices, made after the art of the Apothecary, pure and holy; and was by the Priests burned upon the golden Altar every morning before the Lord, Exod. 30. 34, 35.

;;2. The prayers of the Saints, acceptable to God, through Christ's mediation. Psal. 141. 2. Rev. 8. 3. A Metaphor.

;;3. Whereas none might make this perfume, Exod. 30. 37, 38. it signifies that holy things must not either of necessity or pleasure be turned to private use.

There was given unto him much incense, Rev. 8. 3. that is, as some, He had power given him to Preach to the people the merits of Christ's death, which should make their prayers pleasing to God. Or, he found that grace and favor with God, through Christ, to be a means of doing that which should manifest that their prayers had prevailed, and found acceptance with God, as Act. 10. 4, 31. Annot.

Incense shall be offered, and a pure offering]

;;That in the days of Christ (whereof this is a prediction) the Spiritual worship of God should be everywhere among the Gentiles lawfully established and practiced, Mal. 1. 11. Had the Papists considered how usual it is with the prophets under legal types and shadows to teach and foretell Evangelical worship and graces, they would not so grossly from this pure oblation here mentioned, have collected their most impure Mass, whose marrow bones cannot be found either in New or Old Testament, as being like a Beggers cloak patched together by sundry Popes in the corruptest times. With as good reason, may Incense, Levites, Ark, Tabernacle, &c. and all other Ceremonies of the Law be brought in, as Priests, Altars, and Sacrifice of the Mass.

Incense]

The people were praying without at the time of Incense, Luk. 1. 10. All the time when the priests offered Incense within in the Sanctury or tabernacle, the people were left alone without in the atrium Judaeorum, the Court of the Jews praying for the pardon of sins, every man apart for himself, till the Priests came back again, and pronounced the benediction. Dr. Hammond Annot. d.

Incensed]

Isa. 41. 11. & 45. 24. that is, enraged kindled, inflamed with wrath.

Inchanter]

An observer of fortunes. One that curiously searcheth, 〈◊〉 , and telleth signs of good or evil luck, which are learned by experience. As if one should say: Because the morsel of bread is fallen out of my mouth, or my staff out of my hand, I will not go to such a place this day, for if I go I shall not speed with my business. Because a Fox passed on my right hand I will not go out of my house this day, for if I go, some deceitful man will meet with me. And so if 〈◊〉 hear the chattering of a Bird, and say it shall be so or not so, it is good to do such a thing, or naught to do such a thing, &c. Ainsworth on Deut. 18. 10.

One that with legerd main deceiveth or deludeth the eye-sight, Jer. 27. 9. so did the Magicians of Egypt, Exod. 7. 11. Their enchantments were secret sleights, jugglings. The word hath the signification of secret and close conveyance, or of 〈◊〉 like the flame of a fire or sword, (as Gen. 3. 24.) wherewith men's eyes are dazzled. The miracles done by Moses were in truth, but theirs by sleight or sorcery. Idem on Exod. 7. 11.

This sin was common among the Heathens, practiced of the wisest, Numb. 24. 1. 1 King. 20. 33. and it spread into Israel, 2 King. 17. 17. 2 Chron. 33. 6. Yet was it plainly forbidden in God's law, Deut. 18. 10. Lev. 19. 26. But their practices are ridiculous, unprofitable, to no purpose, Numb. 23. 23. Isa. 47. 12. The Serpent which is not charmed, will bite and sting the Passenger, Eccl. 10. 11. The 〈◊〉 doth what he can to bite and sting God's people, but in vain.

Inchantments]

Exod. 6. 11. or secret sleights, jugglings. Ainsworth. Lev. 19. 26. 〈◊〉 shall ye use enchantment, or not observe 〈◊〉 , or not 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 signs of good or evil look. Idem. Numb. 23. 23. A sinful art, when by observing the events of things they gathered signs of good or evil luck to themselves or others. Idem.

Inchantments or Sorceries]

;;Spiritual Witch craft, whereby Papists bewitched both Kings, and People, that they should be deceived with such gross trumpery and dote upon such a foul strumpet as Rome is. Rev. 18. 23. And with thine enchantments (or sorceries) were deceived all Nations. Yet even the other kind of Witchcraft, condemned in Moses Law, was much practiced in Rome, not by Monks and Friers only, but even by some Popes, who were known Sorcerers, and enchanters. Howsoever this is not meant here.

Inclosed]

Cant. 4. 11. Heb. barred, marg.

Inclosed]

A garden enclosed: Cant. 4. 12. barred, marg. locked, close shut up; which is for safety and 〈◊〉 , that no evil should come thereon, no enemy should enter; for walls, doors, locks, bars, &c. are means to preserve, secure, and save. So in figure when the walls of Jerusalem were repaired, they were thus fortified, Neh. 3. 3. 13. But when such fences are wanting or broken down, all things lie open to the spoil, Isa. 5. 5. Psal. 80. 12. Hereby is signified on God's part the protection of his Church, Zech. 2. 5. Psal. 147. 13.

Incontinency]

For your incontinency, 1 Cor. 7. 5. That 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 should signify incontinence, which is a sin against the Marriage-vow, will not agree with the context, which supposes no such sin. It signifieth a want of ability to contain or abstain any longer from the lawful pleasures of Marriage; which inability or weakness is an occasion of temptation, and will be an advantage also to the Tempter, by which when he tempts, he may be most probably able to overcome. Dr. Ham. Annot. b.

Wherein yet nothing must be appointed to be done contrary to order, comeliness, or edification. See Rom. 14. 1 Cor. 14. throughout.

;;2. One that is free from someone particular fault, or crime; or one that is guiltless in this or that thing. Gen. 24. 8. If the woman will not follow thee, thou 〈◊〉 be Innocent, 〈◊〉 discharged of 〈◊〉 oath. Jon. 1. 4. Lay 〈◊〉 upon us 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 . Exod. 23. 7. Gen. 10. 5.

;;3. A just and righteous person which liveth uprightly. Job 4. 7. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 perished being innocent?

;;4. One that is free from punishment, or one unpunished. Prov. 11. 21. Though the wicked 〈◊〉 in 〈◊〉 , yet they shall not be innocent. 1 King. 2. 9. But thou 〈◊〉 not count him innocent; that is, thou shalt not free him from punishment. Also, Exod. 34. 7. Not making the 〈◊〉 innocent.

5. Harmlesse, with relation unto such as would or do wrong them, Prov. 1. 11. Jer. 2. 34.

;;There are three causes of man's innocence.;;

• ;;1. Ignorance or want of skill to do ill. Matt. 18. 3. 1 Cor. 3. 18. Rev. 3. 24. Mat. 10. 16.;;

• ;;2. Impotency, or want of power and means to perform ill, where perhaps the 〈◊〉 and will is to do it, Eccl. 31. 10. Luk. 19. 47, 48.;;

  ;; 〈◊〉 in senectute non 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 sed impotentia. ;;

• ;;3. Unwillingness or want of will to do ill, as Ecel. 31. 8, 9, 10. This is best tried when a man hath means, knowledge, and occasion to do the contrary, as Gen. 39. 8, 9, 10. Rom. 7. 20. 1 Cor. 14. 20.;;

;;The other sorts of Innocency may be happy to a man, but this sort only is virtuous and acceptable to God.;;

;;There is also one innocence of the Act, another of the Affect.;;

The word 〈◊〉 in Luk. 12. 1. & Heb. 12. 22. is in the Original 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , which properly signifieth ten thousand, but by a Synecdoche it's taken for a very exceeding great multitude.

Inordinate affection]

Col. 3. 5. The passion of lust which boiled within, provoking the body and mind to uncleanness. The original word 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , notes internal uncleanness, especially the burning and flaming of lust, though it never come to action, or the daily passions of lust, which arise out of such a softness or effeminatenesse of mind, as is carried and 〈◊〉 with every occasion or temptation; and this is the lust of concupiscence, 1 Thess. 4. 5.

This showeth man's soul not to be of the earth, as his body was, but of nothing, by the insufflation of God, and so differing from the spirit of beasts, Eccl. 3. 21.

Which yet some despise, Prov. 1. 7. hate, Prov. 5. 12. refuse, Prov. 13. 18.

〈◊〉 ]

It is the 〈◊〉 of Christ to teach, who only is able in deed to do it, 〈◊〉 and spiritually, so as both to overcome our natural 〈◊〉 , and 〈◊〉 divine knowledge; but yet is pleased to 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to his Church, who is the pillar and ground of truth in 〈◊〉 respect, that she holdeth forth and 〈◊〉 that truth out 〈◊〉 , which only Christ 〈◊〉 to the 〈◊〉 , and makes 〈◊〉 ; so as we are said to be 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 , 〈◊〉 of God, Joh. 6. 45.

• IV. Spiritual, Psal. 51. 12. Rom. 5. 3, 11. & 14. 17. Gal. 5. 22. Phil. 1. 25. 1 Thess. 1. 6.
• V. Ecclesiastical, in and about the external worship and means thereof, Ezr. 3. 12, 13. Lam. 5. 15.

• 4. A resting or relying upon, Isa. 8. 6.

This is spoken of God, Jesus Christ, the holy Ghost, Angels, Believers, &c.

Of Joyes, some are,

• 1. Unnatural, Job 3. 22.
• 2. Some sensual; such are the joys Epicures conceive in the pleasures and sports of this life, Job 21. 12. Eccl. 11. 9
• 3. Fantastical; when men rejoice in mere conceits and fancies, without any ground, as some do when very sick.
• 4. 〈◊〉 ; when men rejoice in sin, rejoice in the misery of God's people, Ezek. 25. 6. And when (through the illusion of Satan to keep them in security) their hearts are tickled with a great deal of joy.
• 5. Spiritual; being either temporary, which the wicked may feel in the hearing of the Word, Mat. 13. 20. or eternal, as which being now in the hearts of God's children, shall never either totally or finally be lost. How this last kind may be discerned from all other joys, is shown by Mr. Byfield on 1 Pet. 1. 8. p. 73.
