An excerpt from John Winthrop’s A History of New England that revealed Winthrop’s writing style and the structure of his journal is there joined with her in these opinions a brother of hers, one Mr. Wheelwright, a sometimes silenced minister in England.

John Winthrop who was born between January 12, 1587/88 and died on March 26, 1649 at the age of 61 was an English Puritan lawyer and one of the foremost figures in founding the Massachusetts Bay Colony, which is the second major settlement in New England after Plymouth Colony. Winthrop led the first large wave of colonizers from England in the year 1630 and served as governor for 12years out of the colony's first 20 years. His writings and vision of the colony as a Puritan "city upon a hill" control New England colonial development, influencing the governments and religions of neighboring or nearest colonies.
