Puritans believed that they were the people appointed by God to work as a guide to others and that every nation existed etc. John Winthrop (the Puritan leader) felt that the puritan livings of holy lifestyle and doing righteous works would purify the Anglican church. Moreover, the pioneers of the Massachusetts Bay Colony would be throwing off all the evil and past wrongdoings of Europe.

He used the phrase "city upon a hill" to explain the fact that the colony was founded with a declared mission of creating the world a signatory to the settlers' sincerity.
