ENNUI , f. [French ; a term which feerns naturalized 
in modern Englifli, becaufe we have no word in our lan¬ 
guage exactly fynonymous.] Languor or laffitude of 
miud ; irregularity or per.plexity of thought; faftidiouf- 
nefs of temper. Ennui is a dileafe to thofe who are de¬ 
termined to be diflatisfied with every fituation or event of 
human life. To prevent ennui, all thofe employments 
which awaken ingenuity, which fmooth the temper, and 
excite complacency of mind, ffiould be made the firft ru¬

E'NOCU, Heb. dedicated.] The fon of Jared, 
and father of Methufelah, and the feventh man in a lineal 
defeent from Adam, born in the year before Chrift 3382. 
He was a prophet, eminent for his exalted piety and con- 
fummate virtue in thejnidft of a corrupt.and vicious race 
of men ; on which account he found fuch favour in the 
fight of God, that he was tranfiuted to heaven without 
undergoing the paiiis of death, when he was 365 years 
old, or in the year before Chrift 3017. St. Jude, in the 
14th and 15th verfes of his Epiftle, has quoted a prediction 
of this prophet, taken, according to the fuppofition of 
fome critics, from an ancient book, containing the tradi¬ 
tions of the Jewifh church, which has been long fmee loft ; 
but according to others, from a work called “ The Book, 
or the Prophecies of Enoch,” cited by Irenaeus, Clement 
of Alexandria, Tertullian, Athenagoras, Jerome, and 
others of the fathers. But whether St. Jude be confiuer- 
ed as quoting the words of a prophecy preferved by tradi¬ 
tion, or as making ufe of expreflions taken from fome tin- 
canonical author, there appears no reasonable evidence to 
conclude that in the time of the apoftles there exifted any 
book which was to be aferibed to the prophet Enoch.

E'NOS, [umK Heb. mortal, fickly, miferable.] The

tranflate it, that “ Etios began to call upon the name of 
the Lord;” denoting, that he was the inventor of reli¬ 
gious rites and ceremonies in the external worftiip which 
was paid to God. This worftiip was kept up in Enos’s 
family, while Cain’s family was plunged in all manner of 
impieties. The Jews are of opinion, that idolatry was at 
firft introduced into the world in tiie time of Enos. They 
tranflate the Hebrew thus: “ Then men began to profane 
the name of the Lord.” Eno,s died at the great age of 
905 years, in the year of the world 1140.
