White, the same who purchased Sion College for the clergy of London, was threatened with a similar fate : as a residentiary of St. Paul's, the good man, then very aged, had preached a sermon which was falsely represented to the king as of a disloyal tendency; for he was very rich, " and the informers hoped to divide his money amongst them. Both these unfortunate divines threw themselves upon' the humanity of the lord-keeper, and he re- solved to exert himself to the utmost in their behalf. Goin...g to the king with some instructions for preach- ers in his hand, which had been committed to him to draw up, he begged that his majesty would allow this article to be added to the rest ; that no man should preach before the age of thirty or after that of sixty. The king exclaimed that there was mad- ness in the motion ; he had many chaplains under thirty who preached before him at Royston and Newmarket much to his contentment ; and his pre- lates and chaplains who were far advanced in years wer^ the greatest masters of divinity in Europe.
