The church told him that he might have the liberty to act his opinion as to bearing arms, but did not think it right for him to labor and hinder others at this difficult and distressing times, asked that he might have liberty to speak and act his liberty in full in said matters, which was refused and nothing more was done respecting the matter at this meeting. About 1778 he moved to Burlington. In 1783 was ordained a deacon by his brother, Rev. John Burdick and Deacon Joseph Stillman.
