John Winthrop fue un abogado puritano inglés y una figura destacada en la fundación de la Colonia de la Bahía de Massachusetts, el segundo asentamiento importante en Nueva Inglaterra después de la Colonia de Plymouth. Winthrop lideró la primera gran oleada de colonos desde Inglaterra en 1630 y sirvió como gobernador durante 12 de los primeros 20 años de la colonia. Sus escritos y su visión de la colonia como una "city upon a hill" puritana dominaron el desarrollo colonial de Nueva Inglaterra, influyendo en los gobiernos y religiones de las colonias vecinas además de las de Massachusetts.

“For we must consider that we shall be 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, and so cause Him to withdraw His present help from us, we shall be made a story and a byword through the world.”
“We must delight in each other, make other's conditions our own, rejoice together, mourn together, labor and suffer together, always having before our eyes our commission and community in the work, our community as members of the same body.”
