94 Patrick O'Dryry

(From Bruodin’s Propugnaculum, p.505) HE was a native of Ulster, and a priest, and gained a victory at Derry of St ColumKille, as he would not obey the iniquitous laws of Elizabeth and James. He overcame very cruel tortures, and preferred the ignominious death of the scaffold and the cutting of his body into four parts, to abandoning the way of truth. He died, venerable by reason of his age and virtues, January 6th, 1618, and, as we may well hope, enjoys a crown of glory with the Saints. See also Copinger and O’Sullevan.
