"Doritie Becon the Daughter of Thomas And Doritie Becon his wife was baptized Aprill the 26th 1659"
I'm not sure about the month - a lot of bleed through from the other side of the page makes it very hard to read. Previous entry April 1659, next 12th January 1659/60 so a lot of possibilities!

Father Thomas BECON, bap. 19 Nov 1626, St. Bartholomew’s Church, Waltham, Kent, England , bur. 2 Dec 1686, St. Vincent’s Church, Littlebourne, Kent, England (Age ~ 60 years) Mother Dorothy, b.

Other Partners: Thomas WHITEMarried 25 Jun 1651 St. Mary Bredin Church, Canterbury, Kent, England - I haven't seen the PR entry for myself, and am not aware that it shows Dorothy as a widow but that was normal at the time; often the only clear evidence is the marriage licence.
However, I do think she was probably only a White by marriage, and previously the wife of Thomas WHITE. See notes on that marriage for more thought.
