To winthrop the city on a hill is a metaphor for a city who is blessed by god. When they are in combat they will be much stronger because god is behind them. Also they say that everyone can see them so if they defy their god then he will remove his blessings and the city will fall. I think he is exaggerating because he thinks that their city cannot be conquered because they have god on their side but that is most likely not true.
