none of these things imply the possibility 

 of a believer's falling from a state of jus- 

 tification. 



Some think Calvin, though right in the 

 main, yet carried things too far : these 

 are commonly known by the name of 

 Moderate Calvinists. Others think he did 

 not go far enough ; and these are known 

 by the name of High Calvinists. It is 

 proper to add, that the Calvinistic system 

 includes in it the doctrine of three co- 

 ordinate persons in the Godhead, in one 

 nature ; and of two natures in Jesus 

 Christ, forming one person. Justification 

 by faith alone, or justification by the im- 

 puted righteousness of Christ, forms also 

 an essential part of this system. They 

 suppose that on the one hand our sins 

 are imputed to Christ, and on the other 

 that we are justified by the imputation of 

 Christ's righteousness to us; that is, 

 Christ, the innocent, was treated by God 

 as if he were guilty, that we, the guilty, 

 might, out of regard to what he did and 

 suffered, be treated as if we were inno- 

 cent and righteous. 



CALV1TIES, or CALVITIUM, in me- 

 dicine, baldness, or want of hair, parti- 

 cularly on the sinciput, occasioned by the 

 moisture of the head, which should feed 

 it, being dried up by some disease, old 

 age, &c. 



CALUMET, a mystic kind of pipe,used 

 by the American Indians as the ensign of 

 peace and for religious fumigations. It 

 is made of red, black, or white marble ; 

 the head resembles our tobacco-pipes, 

 but larger, and is fixed on a hollow 

 reed, to hold it for smoaking : they adorn 

 it with rounds of feathers and locks of 

 hair, or porcupine's quills, ariB in it they 

 smoke in honour of the sun, especially if 

 they want fair weather or rain. This 

 pipe is a pass and safe conduct amongst 

 all the allies of the nation who has it 

 given: in all embassies the embassador 

 carries it as an emblem of peace, and it 

 always meets with a profound regard ; 

 for the savages are generally persuaded 

 that a great misfortune would befal them, 

 if they violated the public faith of the 

 calumet. 



CALX properly signifies lime, but was 

 formerly used by chemists for a fine 

 powder remaining after the calcination 

 of metals and other mineral substances. 

 The term oxide has now taken place of 

 that of calx. See CALCINATION. 



CALYCANTIIKM^E, in botany, the 

 name of the seventeenth order in Lin- 

 naeus's "Fragments of a Natural Me- 

 thod," consisting of plants, which,, among 



other characters, have the corolla an3 

 stamina inserted into the calyx. 



CALYCANTHUS, in botany, a genus 

 of the Icosandria Polygynia class and or- 

 der. Essential character : calyx one- 

 leafed, pitcher-form, squarrose, with co- 

 loured leaflets; corolla calycine ; styles 

 very many, with a glandulous stigma; 

 seeds very many, tailed, within a succu- 

 lent calyx. There are two species, of 

 which C. floridus, Carolina allspice, is a 

 shrub which rises to the height of eight 

 or ten feet. Where it grows naturally, 

 the bark of this shrub is brown, and has 

 a strong aromatic scent, whence the in- 

 habitants of Carolina give it the name of 

 allspice. 



CALYCERA, in botany, a genus of the 

 Syngenesia Segregata class and order. 

 Calyx many -leaved ; calycle five-toothed, 

 one flowered; florets tubular, male and 

 hermaphrodite ; receptacle chaffy; seeds 

 naked. One species; 'viz. C. herbacea, 

 found in Chili. 



CALYCIFLORJE, the sixteenth order 

 in Linnaeus's " Fragments of a Natural 

 Method," consisting of plants, which, as 

 the title imports, have the stamina in- 

 serted into the calyx. The plants of this 

 order want the corolla: the flowes are 

 either hermaphrodite and male on the 

 same root, or male and female upon dif- 

 ferent roots. The seed-vessel is pulpy, 

 of a berry or cherry kind, and contains a 

 single seed or stone. 



CALYPTRANTHES, in botany, a ge- 

 nus of the Icosandria Monogynia class 

 and order. Natural order of Hesperideae. 

 Onagrae and Myrti, Jussieu. Essential 

 character : calyx superior, truncate, co- 

 vered with a veil-shaped, deciduous lid ; 

 corolla none ; berry one-celled, one to 

 four-seeded. There are six species, all 

 natives of the West Indies and Cochin 

 China. 



CALYX, among botanists, a general 

 term expressing the cup of a flower, or 

 that part of a plant which surrounds and 

 supports the other parts of the flower. 

 Linnaeus describes it to be the termina- 

 tion of the cortical epidermis, or outer 

 bark of the plant, which, after accompa- 

 nying the trunk or stem through all its 

 branches, breaks out with the flower, 

 and is present in the fructification in this 

 new form. He has distinguished it into 

 seven different kinds. 1. A. perianth 

 contiguous to the other parts of the fruc- 

 tification. .This is frequently called em- 

 palement, or flower-cup, by English wri- 

 ters, and to it, as professor Martyn well 

 observes, should the term eup, if admit-
