"Sermons by the late Rev. Ezra Shaw Goodwin, Pastor of the First Church and Society of Sandwich, Mass., with a memoir." Boston : Benjamin H. Greene, 1834. 268 p.
Goodwin was ordained as pastor in March of 1813, following John Burr, was had begun to preach hard Calvinistic doctrines contrary to his wide liberal background. The people had rebelled against Burr's preaching -- many stayed away from church, and one nailed his pew shut and boarded over the top. In 1813, the Burr supporters split and Goodwin took over as pastor.

Notes
Marriage Notes (Thomas Howes)
Thomas Howes married Mary Burr, and came from Norfolk, England. Thomas and his wife were in Salem in 1637, where they first landed. They brought with them 3 sons, Joseph, Thomas, and Jeremiah. Joseph went on to marry Rev. John Mayo's daughter, Elizabeth Mayo. They lived in the Nobscusset area of Yarmouth, Plymouth colony, in present day Dennis. Jeremiah was the last born on the passage over to America. There is evidence that they lived in Lynn, Mass. at some point before coming to Cape Cod to permanently settle. They lived in the vicinity of Beach Street and New Boston Road in present day Dennis. - Jean Mayo-Lakatos

alternativley:
"Note as to Howes. The "Genealogy of the Howes Family" (1892), by Joshua C. Howes, gives the name of the wife of Thomas1 Howes as Mary Burr,(b) but no proof of her surname can be found. Mr. Howes says that the emigrant came from the County of Norfolk, England, but here again there is no proof that the emigrant had any connection with the Norfolk family or was entitled to the coat of arms given in the book. Burke's General Armory, 513, gives the arms of Howes or Howse (Morningthorpe,Co. Norfolk), without indication of date, from which those in this book of J. C. Howes are taken, but Burke gives two different sets of arms without indication of place or date, and also gives the arms of Joan Howes, heiress of the family in the time of Henry VIII, Co, Essex. He also gives different sets of arms for various families named Hughes, Hugh, Hewes and for others having similar names. At the time of the emigration of Thomas1 Howes the name was not uncommon in various parts of England.
The author also says (p. 7) that "they [Thomas1 and his wife] were in Salem, Mass., two years before, or in 1637, where they first landed. They brought with them three sons, Joseph, Thomas and Jeremiah, the last born on the passage over, or soon after arrival." There is no evidence that they had lived in Salem. There is evidence that they had lived in Lynn. The date and place of their arrival in America nowhere appear. They may have landed in Boston or Salem and in view of the litigation he was engaged in in 1638, no doubt as early as 1637. Jeremiah was born about 1637, but whether in England, on the passage over or in America is not known. There is no proof of the age of Thomas1 Howes at his death. This genealogy by J. C. Howes contains many errors and is imperfect. He appears not to have consulted the Barnstable Probate Records, only a few miles away from him. I have not relied on him except in a few instances where other authority was lacking." - Thomas Howes genealogy, 1917
