It’s interesting how any two parents, having their child's best interests in mind, will often disagree on exactly the cause to pursue and how to do this. Throughout the 17th century, in and around the newly formed Massachusetts Bay Colony, both John Eliot and Roger Williams performed many civic duties but, like parents, they dedicated themselves to different causes and used different means to pursuing them. In addition, both Eliot and Williams believed civic duty, being the duties or obligations a person has toward their society, was required to achieve their causes. Although Eliot and Williams seemed to have almost views about what their civic duty was, they both performed many deeds for this duty.
