Submitted By Words 327 Pages 2
First, the speech Mr.Winthrop gave to the Puritans in his Christian Model address is intended exclusively for a Puritan audience. He informs them that God has created men with diverse economic and social equity as a manifestation of His infinite wisdom. Furthermore, explaining that God expects them to be helpful towards one another by walking in unity by demonstrating justice and mercy towards one another despite their differences. [2] Some of the points and admonitions find their roots in scripture. For example, Jesus stated,” Love your neighbor as yourself’” so it’s understandable for John to encourage his group to treat one another with love and respect but he forgot to extend this principle to non-Puritans, Native Americans, and Africans.[3]
