A Model of Christian Charity --- by Gov. John Winthrop, 1630

A Model of Christian Charity --- by Gov. John Winthrop, 1630: "We must uphold a familiar commerce together in all meekness, gentleness, patience and liberality. We must delight in each other; make others’ conditions our own; rejoice together, mourn together, labor and suffer together, always having before our eyes our commission and community in the work, as members of the same body." Written board the Arbella, en route to America
