Oct 8th 1648, John Allibond sets Rustica Descriptio Visitationis Fanaticae, a lament for Oxford following Root & Branch reform to the church :

Election days are a time to look to the future but we couldn't help sharing an amazing item from the political past, a 1662 parliamentary speech given by a ghost!
