XXXVIII. Observations on a Seal of Thomas, Suffragan Bishop of Philadelphia. By the Reverend Mr. Pegge. In a Letter to Gustavus Brander, Esq.
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 July 2012
Extract
The matrix of this oval seal was in the possession of the late Mrs. Mary Burnell of Winkburne, in the county of Nottingham, and is now the property of my kinsman Peter Pegge, Esq. lord of that manor. It is an episcopal seal, and the drawing by Hayman Rooke, Esq. with which I here present you, exhibits a bishop standing in a tabernacle with a heart in his right hand, and a cross of this form 
in his left. The coat underneath the figure is, a fesse charged with three pellets between three tons, and the inscription runs, s. DÕINI. TOME. EPISC. PHILADELPHIENCIS.
