ing thofe who contend for their Re-admiffion; as the giving Milk and Honey to the baptized, in the Eaft; Wine and Milk, in the Weft, &c. It appears, that in the Primitive Times none were baptized but Adults. Formerly there were great Difputes, whether the Baptifm of Hereticks was valid. The general Opinion run for the Affirmative, pro vided it was conferr'd in the Name of the Trinity, and therefore they allow'd even that of the Laity, or Women in cafe ofNecefflty. The Council of Roan in 1071, order'd, that the Prieft ihould baptize falling, f£c. Theological Authors diftinguifh three Kinds of Baptifm. 1. The Baptifm of Water, which is that above-mention'd. 2. The Baptifm of Fire, which is the perfect Love of God, join'd with a Defire to be baptiz'd; call'd alfo the Baptifm of the Spi- rit : on occafion this may fupply the Place of Water-Bap- tifm. 3. Baptifm of Blood; which is the Martyrdom of ^Catechumen. Baptifm, in the Primitive Times, was only t h adminifter'd at Eafter and Wbitfuntide, except inCalcs of Neceffity. The Catechumens were not forward in coming to Baptifm. St. Ambrofe was not baptiz'd before he was elected Bifhop of Milan; and fome of the Fathers not till the time of their Death; fome deferring it out of a ten- der Confcience; and others out of too much Attachment to the World, it being the prevailing Opinion of the Primitive Times that Baptifm, whenever conferr'd, walh'd away all antecedent Stains and Sins. The Fathers rallied this fuper- ftitious Delicacy to fuch a degree, that they introduced a different Extreme; the ridiculous Zeal of fome People car- rying them to baptize the Dead by Proxy
in Court, Prifoners to anfwer Indictments, 5?c. Whence our Lawyers who are call'd to the Bar, or licenfed to plead, ( in other Countries call'd Licentiati) are term'd Barriftcrs.
Bars, in the Menage, the Ridges or upper Parts of the Gums, between the Under-Tufhes and the Grinders of a Horfe; the outward Sides whereof are always call'd the Gums. Thefe Bars Ihould be fharp-ridg'd and lean; for fines all the Subjection a Horfe fufters, proceeds from thofc Parts, if they have not thefe, they will be very little or not at all

Bars, in Mufick, Strokes drawn perpendicularly a-crols Lines of a Piece of Mufick, including between each two, a certain Quantity or Meafure of Time, which is va- rious as the Time of the Mufick is triple or common. In common Time, between each two Bars is included the Meafure of four Crotchets, in triple Time three Crotchets. Their principal Ufe is to regulate the Beating, or Meafure of Time in a Confort. See Time.
