Document A: John Winthrop, A Model of Christian Charity, 1630

GOD ALMIGHTY in his most holy and wise providence, hath so disposed of the condition of' mankind, as in all times some must be rich, some poor, some high and eminent in power and dignity; others mean and in submission...[Yet] we must be knit together, in this work, as one man. We must entertain each other in brotherly affection. We must be willing to abridge ourselves of our superfluities, for the supply of other's necessities. We must uphold a familiar commerce together in all meekness, gentleness, patience and liberality. 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, as members of the same body. So shall we keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace...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, and so cause him to withdraw his present help from us, we shall be made a story and a by-word through the world. We shall open the mouths of enemies to speak evil of the ways of God...We shall shame the faces of many of God's worthy servants, and cause their prayers to be turned into curses upon us ...

Document B: Articles of Agreement, Springfield Massachusetts, 1636

We whose names are underwritten, being by God's providence engaged together to make a plantation... do mutually agree to certain articles and orders to be observed and kept by us and by out successors...

We intend by God's grace, as soon as we can, with all convenient speed, to procure some Godly and faithful minister with whom we purpose to join in church covenant to walk in all the ways of Christ
We intend that our town shall be composed of forty families... rich and poor
That every inhabitant shall have a convenient proportion for a house lot, as we shall see [fit] for everyone's quality and estate...
That everyone shall have a share of the meadow or planting ground.
