On the great brazen altar the holy fire sent from the Lord, burnt continually. When fire was to be laid on the golden altar for incense it was fetched from this. It is probable that at this time Aaron took fire from that altar where it burnt continually.

*Incense was a sweet perfume made of four most odoriferous 2spices. The first is translated ostacte, a gum that distils out of Myrrh, or Cinnamon. Some translate it pure Myrrh. The second, pOnicha, a kind of spice very clear, which being scraped giveth an extraordinary sweet savour. Some term it clear Gum. The third, qGalbanum. This name is taken from the Hebrew. It is said to be a liquor hardened, that is drawn out of sweet Cane growing in Syria. The rGreek and the Latin express it by such words as our English doth, derived from the Hebrew. The fourth, rpure Frankincense. This among the four is the only common spice: the other are such as we read not of in any other place: so as it is no easy matter to tell what kind of spices they were. Sure it is that sno perfume might be made like that incense which was made of them.
