The Puritans and the Founding of America - americanthinker.com
Excerpt from this article:
"The Pilgrims had the proper perspective. As Bradford would note, 'As one small candle may light a thousand, so the light [of Jesus] kindled here has shown unto many, yea in some sort to our whole nation...We have noted these things so that you may see their worth and not negligently lose what your fathers have obtained with so much hardship."

The following quote of from Dr. J. I. Packer's book, A Quest For Godliness - The Puritan Vision of the Christian Life
"Yet we in our day, much as we love to sing Amazing Grace (I suppose because we like the tune), are not inwardly amazed by grace as the Puritans were; it does not startle us that the holy Creator should receive sinners into his company; rather, we take it for granted! 'God will forgive. That's his job!' was the final scoff with witch the French cynic went to meet his Maker."
