"For we must consider that we shall be as a city
upon a hill. The eyes of all people are upon us. So
that if we shall deal falsely with our God in this
work we have undertaken we shall shame the
faces of many of God's worthy servants, and
cause their prayers to be turned into curses upon
us til we be consumed out of the good land
whither we are a-going"
John Winthrop
Governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony
