to be ascribed to themselves, as though by 
their own free-will they made themselves to 
differ, but merely to him wlio delivers them

Lastly, they maintain that those whom 
God has effectually called and sanctified by 
his spirit shall never finally fall from a state 
of grace. They admit that true believers 
may fall partially, and would fall totally and 
finally but for the mercy and faithfulness of 
God, who keepeth the feet of his saints; 
also, that he who bestoweth the grace of 
perseverance bestoweth it by means of 
reading and hearing the word, meditation, 
exhortations, threa tellings, and promises: 
but that none of these things imply the 
possibility of a believer’s falling from a state 
of justification. 
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 per- 
sons in the Godhead, in one nature ; and of 
two natures in Jesus Christ, forming one 
person. Justification by faith alone, or jus- 
tification by the imputed 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 impu- 
tation 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 innocent 
and righteous. 
CALVITIES, or Calvitium, in medi- 
cine, baldness, or want of hair, particularly 
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 pf 
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 smoking : they adorn it with 
rounds of feathers and locks of hair, or por- 
cupines’ quills, and in it they smoke in ho- 
nour of the sun, especially if they want fair 
weather or rain. This pipe is a pass and

safe conduct amongst all the allies of tbs 
nation who has it given: in all embassies 
the ambassador carries it as an emblem of 
peace, and it always meets with a profound 
regard ; for the savages are generally per- 
suaded, 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. 
CALYCANTHEMdJ, in botany, the 
name of the seventeenth order in Linnasus’s 
“ Fragments of a Natural Method,” con- 
sisting of plants which, among other charac- 
ters, have the corolla and stamina inserted 
into the calyx. 
CALYCANTHUS, in botany, a genus of 
the Icosandria Polygynia class and order. 
Essential character : calyx one- leafed, pit- 
cher-form, squarrose, with coloured leaflets; 
corolla calycine ; styles very many, with a 
glandulous stigma; seeds very many, tailed, 
within a succulent calyx. There are two 
species, of which C. floridus, Carolina all- 
spice, 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- inhabi- 
tants of Carolina give it the name of all- 
spice. 
CALYCERA, in botany, a genus of the 
Syngenesja Segregata class and order. Calyx 
liTahy-leaved ; calycle five-toothed, one-flow- 
ered ; florets tubular, male and hermaphro- 
dite ; receptacle chaffy ; seeds naked. One 
species ; riz. C. herbacea, found in Chili. 
CAL’tCIFLORjE, the sixteenth order in 
Linnaeus’s “ Fragments of a Natural Me- 
thod,” consisting of plants which, as the title 
imports, have the stamina inserted into the 
calyx. The plants of this order want the 
corolla : the flowers are either hermaphro- 
dite and male on the same root, or male 
and female upon different roots. The seed- 
vesgel is pulpy, of a berry or cherry kind, 
and contains a single seed or stone. 
CALYPTRANTHES, in botany, a genus 
of the Icosandria Monogynia class and or- 
der. Natural order of Hesperideae. Ona- 
gr® and Myrti, Jussieu. Essential charac- 
ter . calyx superior, truncate, covered 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 Cochiq China.
