in 1675, and is buried at Lambeth.
=Joseph Henshaw= (1663-1679) was Dean of Chichester. He died suddenly on
March 9, 1679, on his return from attending service at Westminster
Abbey. He was buried at East Lavant in Sussex, where he had been rector.
=William Lloyd= (1679-1685) was translated from Llandaff, and was
further translated to Norwich in 1685. He was deprived of his see as a
Nonjuror in 1691. He lived at Hammersmith till his death in 1710. He was
the last survivor of the seven deprived bishops. It is singular that his
namesake, William Lloyd, bishop of S. Asaph, should have been one of the
seven bishops committed to the Tower by King James II. in 1688; but he
had no scruples about taking the oaths to the new sovereigns, and became
afterwards Bishop of Lichfield, and ultimately of Worcester.
=Thomas White= (1685-1691) was one of the seven committed to the Tower,
and also one of the seven deprived in 1691 as Nonjurors. He attended Sir
John Fenwick on the scaffold. This bishop, with his predecessor, Bishop
Lloyd, the deprived Bishop of Norwich, were two of the consecrators of
the Nonjuring Bishops, Hickes and Wagstaffe. There were really ten
bishops (including Archbishop Sancroft) who refused the oaths to William
and Mary; but the Bishops of Worcester, Chichester, and Chester died
before the time fixed for the deprivation. Bishop White lived in
retirement after he left his diocese. He died in 1698, and his funeral
is mentioned in Evelyn's _Diary_, under date June 5th: "Dr White, late
Bishop of Peterborough, who had been deprived for not complying with
Government, was buried in St Gregory's churchyard or vault, at St
Paul's. His hearse was accompanied by two Nonjuror bishops, Dr. Turner
of Ely, and Dr. Lloyd, with forty Nonjuror clergymen, who could not stay
the office of the burial, because the Dean of St Paul's had appointed a
conforming minister to read the office, at which all much wondered,
there being nothing in that office which mentioned the present king."
Lathbury remarks on this retirement from the grave, that it was a
singular circumstance, and contrary to the practice of the Nonjurors in
many other cases.
=Richard Cumberland= (1691-1718) had a reputation as a philosophical
writer. The only memoir of him is to be found in the preface to
_Sanchoniathon's History_,[37] a posthumous work, in which his chaplain
(and son-in-law) thus describes his appointment:--"The king was told
that Dr Cumberland was
