The SPEECH of Ferdinando Huddleston Esq In the Face of the Country , At the Election at Baggry in the County of Cumberland , the 27th day of August , 1679. GENTLEMEN ,

MY Oppositions this day in this affair , may be thought strange , yet not more strange than the joyning Opposers ; for one that comes here , I may acquiesce as to his Worthiness ; for those that appear now , as the last time , it might be more seasonable for them to tell the Country of a new Commonwealth in a disguise , than to put a second Fob upon them . I here declare in the face of the County , I come here to the assistance of our King and Country , and to uphold the most glorious Church in the World , setled in this Isle ; and withal to speak my Minde , which I include , and shall seal with my Life and Fortune , in defence of his Majesty and our Church , as it is now established , against all Opposers . Knowing the old Fallacy , to profess one thing , and act another , as in the late Usurpation ; to set Coblers in the places of Kings , and Tinkers as Princes . Now you have my free sence of what I pray God prevent ; take right measures , and recollect if in those sad Times there was not more insulting from the Shopboard , which most of those that bore Power came from , than now there is from the Noblemans Chair . Before a Common-wealth come here , I will loose my Life and Fortune , choosing rather to extinguish with the Crown , which God forbid , than survive to see Nothing , as heretofore , come in so high place ; which this Kingdom can never suffer , so long as English Spirits are in being , which the worst thereof cannot submit to , without a true Head , which now we have , and I hope of the Line shall never want . I conclude the rest , that God would bless the King , and continue the present Settlement of our Religion now established , which with my Blood I will seal . You have your Choice , I my Satisfaction in discharging my self in this matter , not being given to Change .
