Stephen Burroughs's sermon : delivered in Rutland, on a hay mow, to his auditory the Pelhamites, at the time when a mob of them, after having pursued 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, p. 90, 91, and delivered to them the following sermon, on the occasion.

Description
Item Description: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.
