dc.description.abstract	Caption title: The hay-mow sermon, &c. 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. Burroughs' Memoirs, referred to in the title, were first in 1798. Publication statement supplied by Evans, though perhaps based on no more than the fact that True published Burroughs' Memoirs in 1798. "The hymn."--p. 11.
