Citats mening.

Hvad menes der med dette citat, et uddrag fra john Winthrop´s "a city upon a Hill":

”For we must consider that we shall be as a city upon a hill. The eyes of all people are upon us. So that if we shall deal falsely with our God in this work we have undertaken, [...] we shall be made a story and a by-word through the world. We shall open the mouths of enemies to speak evil of the ways of god [...] We shall shame the faces of many God´s worthy servants, and cause their prayers to be turned into curses upon us till we be consumed out of the good land whither we are a-going.”
