recall, the change to "indicate the basis for the conjecture in the
note" was made because we want users to know the cataloger didn't have access
to anything more that what's presented in the record. If the conjectured date
comes from the date of the sermon in the title, you still need to say
"Date based on title." That way, for example, if someone later finds
evidence that the sermon circulated in manuscript for a few years before it was
printed, they'll know for-sure that the conjecture came from internal evidence
alone. </p>

note is more stringent than leaving it to cataloger's judgment of whether a note is needed. Often the conjectured date is obvious from other parts of the description, such as the date of a sermon or other address.
