'''A Model of Christian Charity''' was the [[Massachusetts Bay Colony]]'s [[Governor]] [[John Winthrop]]'s 1630 speech describing Winthrop's belief in divine support for the Colony's success.<ref>Boyer, 55</ref> In the speech he stated that Massachusetts would be a city upon a hill - in that the "the eies of all people" would be upon them.<ref>{{cite web|work=About.com|title= City Upon a Hill: Colonial American Lit.|format=HTML|author=Esther Lombardi|language=English|url=http://classiclit.about.com/library/weekly/aa112600a.htm}}</ref>  The "city upon the hill" imagery has been echoed through the years, most famously by [[Ronald Reagan]], and is seen by many as the seed of American exceptionalism.
