White, Bishop of Peterborough, died in 1698. Bishop Turner sent to the Dean of St. Paul’s to bury the deceased Bishop in St. Gregory’s churchyard; the Dean had it intimated to him “that any clergyman conformable to the Church and Government might bury him.” “Bishop Turner, who was one that carried up the pall, with thirty or forty more of the Clergy, and some few laymen, attended him from the house where he died, and being come into the churchyard almost as far as the grave, they espied Mr. Standish, one of the Minor Canons, in his surplice, ready to read the office. At the sight of him they immediately made a halt, and, after they had conferred amongst themselves a little while, all the Clergy opened on each side to let the corpse pass along to the grave, and went, every one of them, back again, so that only two or three of the laity stayed to see him interred. It seems the party renounced all manner of communion with any person conformable to the Church and Government.”[478] I have already pointed out that there were two classes of Nonjurors: the practically moderate, represented by Ken and others, even indeed by Dodwell--and the extreme, represented by Hickes; and it is apparent that the persons who attended White’s funeral were of the latter description, and would not in any way hold fellowship with any but their own party. In the month of November, 1700, the Bishop who attended that funeral followed his episcopal brother into the invisible world. Turner was very poor--“in very needy circumstances,” says Bishop Nicholson, “having a large family, and no support out of the common bank of charity.” He lived in extreme retirement, and was buried in the chancel of Therfield Church, Hertford, where he had once been rector, a single word only being inscribed on the stone which covered his mortal remains, but that word most expressive--_Expergiscar_.
