[The following passage occurs in the bishop's Charge to the clergy of
St. Asaph in 1806, p. 26. "Take especial care, before you aim your
shafts at Calvinism, that you know what is Calvinism, and what is not:
that in that mass of doctrine, which it is of late become the fashion
to abuse under the name of Calvinism, you can distinguish with
certainty that part of it which is nothing better than Calvinism, and
that which belongs to our common Christianity, and the general faith of
the Reformed Churches; _lest, when you mean only to fall foul of
Calvinism, you should unwarily attack something more sacred and of
higher origin_."]
"_Marry come up!_"--What is the origin of this expression, found in the old
novelists? It perhaps originates in an adjuration of the Virgin Mary. If
so, how did it gain its present form?
