Biography
刘理顺，杞县人。
明史卷二百六十六 列传第一百五十四：
刘理顺，字复礼，杞县人。万历中举于乡。十赴会试，至崇祯七年始中式。及廷对，帝亲擢第一，还宫喜曰：“朕今日得一耆硕矣。”拜修撰。益勤学，非其人不与交。
十二年春，畿辅告警，疏陈作士气、矜穷民、简良吏、定师期、信赏罚、招胁从六事。历南京司业、左中允、右谕德，入侍经筵兼东宫讲官。杨嗣昌夺情入阁，理顺昌言于朝，嗣昌夺其讲官。开封垂陷，理顺建议河北设重臣，练敢死士为后图，疏格不行。嗣昌、薛国观、周延儒迭用事，理顺一无所附丽。出温体仁门，言论不少徇。
贼犯京师急，守卒缺饷，阴雨饥冻。理顺诣朝房语诸执政，急请帑，众唯唯。理顺太息归，捐家赀犒守城卒。僚友问进止，正色曰：“存亡视国，尚须商酌耶！”城破，妻万、妾李请先死。既绝，理顺大书曰：“成仁取义，孔、孟所传。文信践之，吾何不然！”书毕投缳，年六十三。仆四人皆从死。群盗多中州人，入唁曰：“此吾乡杞县刘状元也，居乡厚德，何遽死？”罗拜号泣而去。后赠詹事，谥文正。本朝赐谥文烈。
