William Henry Brisbane, Baptist minister, says that American chattel slavery was a system of violence against the poor, needy, and stranger (Ezekiel (22:29).

Richard Bernard, Puritan, on the governor, Nehemiah, who refused pay (chapter 5) when his people suffered in bondage. Great persons excelling in stature & wealth should be “melting” before the deserve to be called great. Bernard laments that he lives a frozen, cruel and an iron age.
“Melting”. Isn’t this the very antithesis of modern theology?
How can you be “melting” and truly great today?
