WHITE, THOMAS (1628-1698) , bishop of
Peterborough
 , was born at Aldington in Kent, and educated at St John's College,
Cambridge
 . Having taken hoiy orders, he became
vicar

Peterborough
 . In 1688 he joined the archbishop of Canterbury, William Sancroft, and five of his suffragan bishops in petitioning against the declaration of indulgence issued by James II., sharing the trial and the
triumph
 -ant acquittal of his colleagues. In 1689 he refused to take the oath of allegiance to William and Mary and was deprived of his see, but he did not become very active among the

 . White died on the 3oth of May 1698.
The bishop must be distinguished not only from the founder of Sion College, but also from
Thomas

pope
