Searching for that I found this, "Strange and remarkable prophesies and predictions of the holy, learned, and excellent James Usher" including allegedly the execution of the king and this of the 1641 Rebellion:
"From this year (says he) will I reckon the sin of Ireland, that those whom you now imbrace, shall be your Ruin, and you shall bear this Iniquity. Which Prediction proved exactly ture, for from
that time 1601, to the year 1641, was just Forty years"

witnessed the prelude to the execution of from the roof of the house where he was staying.

"when his
Majesty had done speaking, and had pulled off his cloak
and doublet, and stood stripped in his waistcoat, and that
the villains in vizards began to put up his hair, the good
Bishop no longer able to endure so dismal a sight, and being
full of grief and horror for that most wicked fact now ready
to be executed, grew pale and began to faint"

According to the Ussher Memoirs (p. 86)

was born in the parish of Nicholas Within, and baptised either in the parish church, or in St Werburgh's Church.

The Church of St Nicholas Within that may have seen Ussher's baptism was replaced in 1707 (part of Ab 's rebuilding scheme)
