  2. “Wee shall be as a Citty upon a Hill” from "A Model of Christian Charity" John Winthrop (1630)

  3. From Wikipedia.com • Winthrop warned the Puritan colonists of New England who were to found the Massachusetts Bay Colony that their new community would be a "city on a hill" watched by the world.

  4. From Wikipedia.com • It inspired the Puritans with a sense of holy duty that would be crucial if they wanted to increase their chances of survival in the New World.

  5. From Wikipedia.com • Winthrop believed that all nations had a covenant with God, and that because England had violated its religious covenant, the Puritans must leave the country. This was an expression of the Puritan belief that the Church of England had fallen from grace by accepting Catholic rituals. John Winthrop claimed that the Puritans forge a new, special agreement with God, like that between God and the people of Israel.

  6. From Wikipedia.com • Winthrop believed that by purifying Christianity in the New World, his followers would serve as an example to the Old World for building a model Protestant community.

  7. From Wikipedia.com • The idea that their community was specially ordained by God had a powerful effect on the Puritan society of New England. Of course, breaking a covenant with God has dire results. In order to avoid incurring God's wrath by breaking their promise, the Puritans sought to maintain perfect order in their society.

  8. From Wikipedia.com • Even the smallest sins were punished harshly by the courts; no one was allowed to live alone for fear that they would succumb to the temptation to sin; parents were to instruct their children and servants diligently in the Word of God; church attendance was mandatory; marriage was required.

  9. From Wikipedia.com • These conventions and institutions molded an extremely stable and rigidly-structured society in New England, a stark contrast with the unstable and loosely-bound society of the early British colonies in the Chesapeake Bay region, such as Jamestown.
