John Winthrop envisioned a close relationship between church and state, where the government would uphold and enforce Puritan moral values. He believed that civil authorities should support the church's mission to promote a godly society, with laws reflecting religious principles. Winthrop saw this integration as essential for maintaining social order and ensuring the spiritual well-being of the community. His vision emphasized that the state should protect and promote the interests of the church, creating a unified moral framework for society.
