Massachusetts Bay Company

The best example of Protestant expansion through colonies is in Puritan New England. When Charles I granted the Massachusetts Bay company a charter as a colony, the document contained a clause concerning missions: "The people from England may be so religiously, peaceably, and civilly governed, as their good life and orderly conversation may win and incite the natives of the country to the knowledge and obedience of the only true God and Savior of mankind, and the Christian faith."
