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 Christs death, which should make their prayers pleasing to God. Or, he found that grace and favour 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 dayes of Christ (whereof this is a prediction) the Spirituall worship of God should be every where among the Gentiles lawfully established and practised, Mal. 1. 11. Had the Papists considered how usuall it is with the prophets under legall types and shadows to teach and foretel Evangelicall worship and graces, they would not so grossely from this pure oblation here mentioned, have collected their most impure Masse, 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 Masse.
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, inraged kindled, inflamed with wrath.
Inchanter]
An observer of fortunes. One that curiously searcheth, …, and telleth signes of good or evill luck, which are learned by experience. As if one should say: Because the morsell of bread is faln out of my mouth, or my staffe out of my hand, I will not goe to such a place this day, for if I goe I shall not speed with my businesse. Because a Fox passed on my right hand I will not goe out of my house this day, for if I goe, some deceitfull 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 doe such a thing, &c. Aynsworth on Deut. 18. 10.
One that with legerd maine deceiveth or deludeth the eye-sight, Jer. 27. 9. so did the Magicians of Aegypt, Exod. 7. 11. Their inchantments were secret sleights, juglings. 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 mens eyes are dazled. 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, practised 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 Gods law, Deut. 18. 10. Lev. 19. 26. But their practises 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 Gods people, but in vain.
Inchantments]
Exod. 6. 11. or secret sleights, juglings. Aynsw. Lev. 19. 26. … shall ye use inchantment, or not observe …, or not … … signes of good or evill look. Idem. Numb. 23. 23. A sinfull art, when by observing the events of things they gathered signes of good or evill luck to themselves or others. Idem.
Inchantments or Sorceries]
;;Spirituall Witch craft, whereby Papists bewitched both Kings, and People, that they should be deceived with such grosse trumpery and dote upon such a foul strumpet as Rome is. Rev. 18. 23. And with thine inchantments (or sorceries) were deceived all Nations. Yet even the other kind of Witchcraft, condemned in Moses Law, was much practised in Rome, not by Monks and Friers onelyonly, but even by some Popes, who were known Sorcerers, and inchanters. Howsoever this is not meant here.
Inclosed]
Cant. 4. 11. Heb. barred, marg.
Inclosed]
A garden inclosed: Cant. 4. 12. barred, marg. locked, close shut up; which is for safety and …, that no evill should come thereon, no enemie should enter; for wals, doores, locks, bars, &c. are means to preserve, secure, and save. So in figure when the wals of Jerusalem were repaired, they were thus fortified, Neh. 3. 3. 13. But when such fences are wanting or broken down, all things lye open to the spoyl, Isa. 5. 5. Psal. 80. 12. Hereby is signified on Gods part the protection of his Church, Zech. 2. 5. Psal. 147. 13. Isa. 27. 3. and on the …, her care to keep her self and all her plants and fruits holy, chast and pure unto her Beloved onelyonly; opening the gates for the righteous, Isa. 26. 2. but keeping watch lest the enemies should invade left the unclean, or any thing that defileth should enter thereinto. 2 Chro. 23. 19. Rev. 21. 27. Aynsw.

Incontinency]
;;An unableness to keep himself chaste in single life, or in the estate of marriage. 1 Cor. 7. 5. Lest Satan tempt you to incontinency.
Incontinency]
For your incontinency, 1 Cor. 7. 5. That foreign should signifie 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 lawfull 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, comliness, or edification. See Rom. 14. 1 Cor. 14. throughout.
