John Winthrop (1587/88 - 1649) was one of the founders of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, lawyer, and author. He is known for writing A Model of Christian Charity and for the sermon titled A City Upon a Hill.
This is Winthrop’s most famous thesis, written on board the Arbella, 1630. We love to imagine the occasion when he personally spoke this oration to some large portion of the Winthrop fleet passengers during or just before their passage.
