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. Hitchcock has noted the dates and locations where he delivered this sermon on the first page. Edward Hitchcock unnumbered sermon, 1825 May 1
