They had given up home, kindred, and native land, and come to a region wild and uninhabited save by savages. Even here, amidst physical dangers, they regarded ignorance as- their worst enemy. It was the covert of the papacy and of every form of political despotism. And as Luther, a century before, had based the safety and strength of a city in an educated citizenship, so these early Puritans believed that the only security possible for the commonwealth they had founded, and the only means by wh...ich the political and religious principles which they represented could be preserved to posterity was in popular instruction.

John Cotton, who had also been educated at Cambridge, and who before coming to America had acquired a reputation for ability and learning, was chosen as teacher to the congregation of the First Church in Boston.
