Under pretext of religion. The synod is condemning the binding of consciences as if to teach that slaves are somehow acting contrary to Christian piety to obey their masters. A gloss cites I Timothy 6:1 and Titus 2:10. It is an injunction against those who would convince slaves they are dishonourable or impious unless they rebel.This was one of the canons in the Synod of Gangra.
