Bliss offers his opinion on slavery: "Slavery, being a most extensive tyranny by some over the rights of others interferes against the same exclusive rights in Christ to govern us all; as well as licences the tyrant extensively to enforce sin & immorality & therefore the laws of the Bible positively forbid the sin of Slavery; & require us the subjects under the King to labor according to the rules of the Bible & devoutly to pray for its removal & to have no fellowship with it anywhere."
