Winthrop wrote a religious speech titled “A Model of Christian Charity” in order to arrange his ideas about how the Puritan settlers should treat one another in order for the colony to survive. The speech basically says that God created men in different position some rich, poor, powerful and powerless. God did this because he wanted to show wisdom in each of the men’s. He wanted them each to respect each other learn from each other and help out each other. He also wanted the different position of the men to come together as a religious group to serve God. Being a Puritan you have entered a promise with God to show kindness and respect toward one another and help each other. If you do not do this God will punish you.
