Edward Hitchcock unnumbered sermon, 1819 Edward Hitchcock unnumbered sermon, 1825 May 1 Hitchcock, Edward, 1793-1864 A sermon by Edward Hitchcock using Sodom as a metaphor for the world. Hitchcock explains that the center of the city of Sodom is where the worst sinners reside, with those guilty of lesser sins being in the nearby plains, and those who have accepted the Lord are safe on the mountain as Lot is instructed to seek the mountain in Genesis 19:17. Hitchcock lists the different types of sinners that can be found and provides reasons why these sinners do not "flee to the Saviour." He then asks his congregation to consider whether they are located in the city, on the plain, or on the safety of the mountain.

He explains that it is hypocritical to censure others while one is guilty of the same or other sins, and stresses the importance of self-examination to determine whether or not one can rightly cast judgment upon another.
