God; 'tis our Actions chiefly by which we are to gam his Favour : he will have us to afl, fo that InaBion cannot be agreeable to him.

INACTIVITY of Matter. See Tis Inert,

INADEQUATE Idea, is a partial or incompleat Re- prefentation of any thing to the Mind. See Jdejaate

INALIENABLE, that which cannot be validly aliena- ™ P S°^fp?^l\T: rmuf f dw L her ? the, Pr °? tsof J^d, or made over to another; thus the Dominions of the

King, the Church, Minors, (0c. are imlkuatle, unlefs it be with a Referve of the Right of Redemption, for ever. . INANIMATE, a Body that has loft its Soul, or that is not of a Nature capable of having any. Thus a dead Man is an reanimate Lump, and Metals are inanimate Bo- dies. The word is derived from the Latin Prepofition in taken pmvivcly, and Jnima Soul

INANITION, a Term nefs,

an Ecclefiaftical Benefice are in the hands of a Lay man : As Appropriation is the Term when it is in the hands of a Bilhop, College, igc. tho thefe two are often now ufed promifcuoufty ; there are faid to be 3845 Impro- priations in England.

IMPROPRIETY, Quality of fomcthing that is not fit orproper. Grammarians obferve three kindsof Faults in Language, a Sola;cifm, a Barbarifm, and an Impropriety. An Impropriety is committed when a Word is ufed that is not proper, or that has not a fuitable Signification.

IMPULSIVE, a Term in Philofophy, applied to the Action of a Body that impels or pufhes another ; as the Arm is faid to give an impulfive Motion to the Stone that it throws. Sir 1. Newton accounts for moll of the Phieno- mena of Nature from attract ive and impulfive Powers.

IMPUTATION, a Term much ufed among Divines, fometimes in a good, and fometimes in an ill Senfe ; in the latter it is ufed to fignify the Attribution of a Sin committed by another. Thus the Imputation of Mam's Sin is made to all his Poftcrity ; all his Defcendants, by his Fall, becoming criminal in the fight of God, as if they had fallen themfelves, and bearing the Punifhment of his firft Crime. Imputation, when ufed in a good Senfe, iignifies the Imputation of another's Juilice or Merit. Thus the Juftice of Jefus Chrifl is imputed to us, his Merits and the Price of his Sufferings being applied to us: So that the Imputation of the Merits of Chrift fignifics no more among the Reformed, than an extrinfick Jultice, which does not make us truly juft, but only appear fo, which hides our Sins, but does not efface them. For this reafon thofe of the Romijh Communion decline the Ufe of the word Imputation, and affert that the juftifying Grace, which applies to us the Metits of Jefus Chrift, not only covers our Sins, butalfo effaces them ; that this Grace is intrinfic and inherent, renewing entirely the inward Man, and renders him pure, juft, and without fpot before God, and that this Juftice is given him on ac- count of the Juftice of Jefus Chrift, that is, by the Me- rits of his Death and Paffion. In a word, fay they, tho' 'tis the Obedience of Jefus Chrift that has merited juftifying Grace for us, yet it is not the Obedience of Jefus Chrift that renders us formally juft : And in like manner 'tis not

Phytic, fignitying Empti- er the State of the Stomach, when it is empty and needs Food. There are Flatuofities which proceed from Repletion, and others from Inanition, which lafl arc the more dangerous.

INARTICULATE, an Epithet applied to fuch words as are nor pronounced diflinctly.

INAUGURATION, the Ceremony performed at the Coronation of an Emperor or King, or the Confectation of a Prelate ; lo called, in imitation of the Ceremonies ufed by the Romans, when they were received into the College oi Augurs. The word comes from the Latin Inaugurate, tnaugurare, which fignifies to dedicate a Temple, or to raifeanyone to the Priefthood, having, in order to that firft taken Auguries.

INCA, or YNCA, the Name which the Natives of Fcm give to their Kings, and Princes of the Blood. The Chronicle of Peru relates the Origin of the Tncas, and fays, that this Country had been a long time the Theatre of all forts of Wars, horrible Crimes, and Diffenfions, till at length appeared two Brothers, the one called Man- gocapa, of whom the Indians ufe to tell Wonders ; he built the City of Crujco, fettled Laws and Policy, and taught them to adore the Sun ; and he a: d his Defcen- dants took the Name o( Tnca, which, in the Language of Tern, fignifies King, or Great Lord. They grew fo power- ful, that they made themfelves Mafters of the whole Country, from Fa/to to Chili, 1300 Leagues long, and held it till the Divisions between Tnca Cuafcar, and Atahali- pa ; which the Spaniards laying hold of, made themfelves Matters of Fern, and put an end to the Empire of the Incas. They do but number twelve of thefe Incas. 'Tis faid the mott confiderable among the Nobles of the Coun- try, flill bear the Name of Inca. INCALESCENCE denotes the growing hot of any as Quick-lime does, by and caleo, to ^row voarm. fed in the Apoftolical fome Land, Right, sr "ie Pope. The word is e?e- tncy Bang looked en as culpable, and pumfhed as fuch, rived from the Latin in, and Camera Chamber bccauleofthcSinof Mam. The Catholics hold, that INCANTATION, Enchantment, Words and Ceremo- ttiis is not enough ; we are not efteemed and punifhed as nies ufed by Magicians to raife Devils ; or rather to abufe ^riminals, fay they, but we arc actually criminal our- the Simplicity of the People. The word is derived from ielves by original Sin. Again, the Proteftants fay, that the Latin, in, and canto, I fing.

INCAPACITY in Matters of Benefices, among the

ft is imputed to us, and that more than the Imputation of that

the Juftice of Jefus Ch: our Juftincation is no

of Chrift ; his Sufferings Handing infte'ad of ours, and God accepting his Death as aSatisfaflion in lieu of our own. But the Catholics teach, that the Juftice of Chrift is not only imputed, but actually communicated to the Faithful, by the Operation of the Holy Ghoft : So that they ate not only reputed juft, but alfo made fo.

INACCESSIBLE Height, or Diftance, is that which cannot be meafured, by reafon of fome Impediment in theway, as Water, S?c. Sec Height.

INACTION, Ceffation of Aaion.a Term much in ufe in

Romanifls, &c. is of two kinds 5 the one renders the Provi- fion of a Benefice null in its Original ; the other is ac- cefftonary, and annuls the Provisions, which at firft were valid. _ Incapacities of the firft kind, are the want of a Dif- penfation for Age in a Minor, for Legitimation in a Baf- tard, for Naturalization in a Foreigner, S£c. Of the other kind, are grievous Offences and Crimes, the being concerned in feeing a Sentence of Death executed, Sfc. which vacate the Benefice to all intents, or render the holding it irregular.

INCARNATION, in Divinity, fignifies the Union of

tf M m - ft ' Cal Div ; nk y ?, h Y which is underftood a Privation the Son of God with the Human' Nature." The~Myftery ot motion, oran Annihilation of all the Faculties ; by which by which Jefus Chrift, the Eternal Word, was made Man,
