Winthrop addresses many things in this speech, but there are some key ideas. He knows that his followers are in for a hard year, as they will have much work to do, very little provisions, and immense difficulties. Therefore, he addresses:

The role of the heart/soul in the community as opposed to just the mind/intellect
What love is and should be for the community
