SEE EXPLANATION:

Explanation:

John Winthrop was the leader of the Massachusetts migration. A famous quote of his influenced the government of Massachusetts, and this quote is: "We shall be as a city upon a hill, the eyes of all people are upon us."

The extended version is "We shall be as a city upon a hill, the eyes of all people are upon us; so that if we shall deal falsely with our God in this work we have undertaken and so cause him to withdraw his present help from us, we shall be made a story and a by-word through the world."

This refers to the fact that England's eyes (and those of the settlers) will be on Massachusetts and that they must preform well and set a good example of what a colony should be, basically.

John Winthrop wanted to create a religious haven (specifically a Puritan haven from what I have learned) and this influenced the government to strive for religious freedom.

Not only that, John Winthrop served as a governor of Massachusetts, so this practically a direct influence.
