Note 193 — Chapter L · JAMES II. IN IRELAND, 1689

King, iii., xiii. 2. A Short View of the Methods made use of in Ireland, &c., by a clergyman lately escaped from thence, licensed October 17, 1689, dedicated to Burnet. Smith’s Cork. Leslie in his answer to King says Brown resisted the sheriff and that a man was killed in the scuffle, this accounting for James’s unusual harshness in that case. Sir Lawrence Parsons, who was included in the great Act of Attainder, had defended his own house at Birr. He surrendered it on conditions, and Baron Lynch sentenced him to be hanged, drawn, and quartered for articling with the King, but he did not actually suffer. Howell’s State Trials, xii. no. 364.
