How did the puritans try to make their settlements in Massachusetts colony a city upon a hill?
The "city on a hill" comes from The Bible and Jesus's sermon on the Mount. When the Piligrams left they brought with them the idea of a city on the hill as an example of how life should be lived and conducted. They believed that the English church was filled too much ceremony and should be more simple. So, when they built their colony they kept to the simplicity, taught from the Bible, and had strict rules concerning behavior within the colony.
