| General note | "Delivered in Rutland, on a hay-mow, to his auditory, the Pelhamites, at the time when a mob of them, after pursuing him to Rutland, in order to apprehend him, because he had abruptly departed and absconded from Pelham, where he had been preaching the Gospel; shut him into a barn into which he ran for asylum; when he ascended a hay mow, which was inaccessible except in one place, with a weapon of defence in his hand, with which he kept off his pursuers at pleasure as mentioned in the author's memoirs, pp. 90, 91, and delivered to them the following sermon." |
| General note | Burroughs' flight from Pelham occurred in 1784. However, reference made in the sermon to Shays' Rebellion (1786-87) indicates that some, if not all, of the sermon was composed after the event. |
