Beecher advocates for a deeper understanding of human liberty that transcends superficial beliefs.

She has sat down like Bunyan's Pilgrim, and slept in the bower by the way, and where she slept she has left her roll--God grant that she hath not lost it there while she slumbered!
She will be rolled up in a corner, like a cocoon waiting for its transmigration.
But New-England was not raised up by Divine Providence to play a mean part in the world's affairs.
