    to speak evil of the ways of God and all professors for God’s sake‚ we shall shame the faces of many of 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 going.” This excerpt thoroughly depicts what Winthrop believed would be bestowed upon them if they were to wander from their path. The speech he gave was also thorough in what he expected from his followers. I felt like he was very cunning in his depiction of the
