Jefferson is mentioned three times by name. On page 30, 31:
Be not devoted to men. Let principles ever guide your attachments. To be blindly devoted to names and men’s person’s, is at
once a token of a slavish spirit, and a sure way to throw the country into virulent parties. Be ready to sacrifice a Jefferson
as freely as any man, should he become elated with power, exalt himself above the Constitution and depart from republican
principles . . .
On page 35:
Be great then, like WASHINGTON,--be inflexible like ADAMS,--be intelligent and good like JEFFERSON.
Give me leave on this occasion particularly to point you to Thomas Jefferson as a laudable example of that magnanimous and
peaceable conduct which I have recommended to you in this discourse, and which is so peculiarly necessary to be put in practice
at the present juncture . . .
Other sermons by Samuel Griswold, Congregational minister and a Jeffersonian republican, appear in this catalogue.
