Robert Molesworth (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) |
 | | Molesworth was admitted to Lincoln’s Inn in July 1675, but did not pursue his legal studies, returning instead to Ireland, where, in August 1676, he married Laetitia, sister of John Locke’s correspondent Richard Coote, later first Earl of Bellomont. |
 | | A further sphere in which Molesworth’s influence was felt in his final years was the University of Glasgow, which had strong connections with Ulster Presbyterianism through students who came for their final year of studies to qualify for the Glasgow degree. |
 | | Molesworth’s assistance was sought by the student body through Smith and Arbuckle, when the authorities decided to reduce their privileges and subject them, as they saw it, to a spiritual and intellectual tyranny. |
