The eyes of all the world would be upon the Puritans as John Winthrop said in his sermon "City Upon a Hill." It would be a beacon of godliness for the world. He felt that Puritans living a holy life style and doing good works would purify the Anglican Church. Furthermore, the settlers of the Massachusetts Bay Colony would be casting off all the evil and past wrongdoings of Europe.
THEY BUILT THEIR SETTLEMENT NEAR THE MOUTH OF CHARLES RIVER
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.

John Winthrop was a respected political leader in 1600s. He led English Puritans to the New World and served as their governer on-and-off for 12 years. He is most famous for a sermon he gave titled 'City Upon a Hill'.
John Winthrop and his followers were very religious. Their denomination was called "Puritans," because they wanted to purify Christianity from what they believed were errors in doctrine and practice. Winthrop envisioned a Christian theocracy, a government run by religion, where religious values (faith and piety, hard work, avoidance of sin) would create what he believed to be an ideal place to live and work. This place would be a shining example to others coming to the New World, a "city on the hill" that others could look up to and emulate. Of course, it turned out that many colonists found the Puritans harsh and judgmental, and they left the colony. But Winthrop did not expect that to occur-- he sincerely believed a Christian colony where Puritanism ruled would lead to only good things.

The Puritans believed in creating a society based on religious principles that would serve as a model for others to follow, like a "city upon a hill" that shines as an example of righteousness. This concept emphasized the importance of leading a virtuous and moral life to inspire others to do the same.
In 1630 John Winthrop led a group of Puritans to settle the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Winthrop hoped their settlement would be an example of Christian living. In a sermon, he said,"...We shall be as a city upon a hill. The eyes of all people are upon us..."

Penn's holy experiment in Pennsylvania emphasized religious tolerance and cooperation among different faiths, while the Puritans' city on the hill in Massachusetts Bay Colony sought to create a society based on strict conformity to Puritan beliefs. Penn's experiment welcomed settlers of various religions and backgrounds, promoting diversity and freedom of worship, while the Puritans aimed to build a community governed by their particular interpretation of Christianity.
