3. В 1682 году в Англии доктор Лейтон, почтенный человек, написавший книгу против епископства, был судим и приговорен к следующим, совершенным над ним, наказаниям. Его жестоко высекли, потом отрезали одно ухо и распороли одну сторону носа, потом горячим железом выжгли на щеке буквы SS: сеятель смут. После семи дней его опять высекли, несмотря на то, что рубцы на спине еще не зажили, и распороли другую сторону носа, и отрезали другое ухо, и выжгли клеймо на другой щеке. Всё это было сделано во имя христианства.
3. In 1682 in England Doctor Leighton, a respectable man who had written a book against episcopacy, was tried and sentenced to the following punishments, which were carried out on him. He was cruelly flogged, then one ear was cut off and one side of his nose slit, then the letters SS, sower of sedition, were burned into his cheek with a hot iron. After seven days he was flogged again, though the welts on his back had not yet healed, and the other side of his nose was slit, and the other ear cut off, and the brand burned into the other cheek. All this was done in the name of Christianity.
From "That Great Lying Church" · shortened by Tolstoy (more).
Morrison Davidson’s own wordsDr. Leighton, an entirely reputable Scotsman, father of the truly Christlike Archbishop Leighton of Glasgow, had written a perfectly legitimate book against Episcopacy.
(4) He was branded on the cheek with a red-hot iron with the letters S.S. [Sower of Sedition]. (5) On that day seven-night the sores on his back, ear, nose, and face being not yet cured, he was whipped again at the pillory in Cheapside, and had the remainder of his sentence executed upon him by cutting off the other ear, slitting the other side of his nose, and branding of the other cheek.

The words shown were found, word for word, in the saved source text. "That Great Lying Church" (1906), Section 'State Church Persecutions', pp. 94-95 (Laud's diary on Dr. Alexander Leighton).
Faithful in substance for the list of punishments; Tolstoy omits the Star Chamber, Laud and the pillory, and adds 'All this was done in the name of Christianity'. Date: Davidson misprints Charles I's accession as '1652'; Tolstoy's '1682' is a further slip — Leighton was sentenced in 1630.
Translation note. Alexander Leighton was sentenced in 1630, not 1682; Tolstoy’s date kept.
