<bb>>Johnb>bb>> Milton

<bb>>Johnb>bb>> Milton was born in Bread Street, London on 9 December 1608 and died in Bunhill Fields, London around 9 November 1674.
Milton justified his belief on purely scriptural grounds, though it is not improbable that he was influenced by contemporary writings, both scientific and theological.
With Ellwood Milton would have shared an emphasis on an inner light as a guide to faith, the continuing revelation of Scripture, and the belief that They also serve who only stand and wait.

Milton, <bb>>Johnb>bb>> - Columbia Encyclopedia article about Milton, <bb>>Johnb>bb>>

Milton gradually broke away from the Presbyterians, and in 1649 he wrote The Tenure of Kings and Magistrates, which supported the Independents who had imprisoned King Charles in the Puritan Revolution.
While Milton was at Cambridge he wrote poetry in both Latin and English, including the ode "On the Morning of Christ's Nativity" (1629).
In these two great works Milton's language is dignified and ornate, replete with biblical and classical allusions, allegorical representations, metaphors, puns, and rhetorical flourishes.

Griswold: Biographical Introduction to <bb>>Johnb>bb>> Milton

In the malignant and envious life of Milton by Dr. Johnson, there is an endeavour to prove that he was expelled from Cambridge for some misdemeanor, or that he went away in discontent because unable to obtain preferment, to spend his time in the company of lewd women, and in the play-houses of London.
To this Bishop Hall replied, and Milton now answered the accumulated attacks upon the Presbyterian party (who were hardly a match for their opponents) and himself, in the Apology for Smectymnuus.
Milton, rivalling his immortal predecessor in mastery of its melodies, developed all its vigour and grandeur, and by his words fought such battles as the genius of his elder brother alone might fittingly record.

Uxoriousness, Genesis, and <bb>>Johnb>bb>> Milton's Paradise Lost

Milton reveals the sinful nature of Adam's dismissal when he refers to Eve as "hapless" and writes that she is walking into an "ambush" laid by Satan (9.404-8).
Milton addresses many concerns through his expansion, but one of the most prominent is man's uxoriousness, his devoted submission to a wife he should instead rule.
It seems that Milton's God has a particularly soft place in His heart for the man who was made in His own image, however much He may upbraid him for his uxoriousness.

by <bb>>Johnb>bb>> Milton "I, WHO erewhile the happy Garden sung..." (more)
Milton explores these problems with a refreshingly fresh perspective -- strictly within the Christian tradition, to be sure, but far from fundamentalist, and even quite radical for its day.
Milton was nicknamed 'the divorcer' in his early career for writing a pamphlet that supported various civil liberties, including the right to obtain a civil divorce on the grounds of incompatibility, a very unpopular view for the day.

<bb>>Johnb>bb>> Milton, Poet

If we take "beget" as "bring into existence," this would mean that the Son is created after the angels, which is nonsense, since Milton makes it explicit that it is only through the Son that the angels and all other things are created (<bb>>Johnb>bb>> 1:3).

<bb>>Johnb>bb>> Milton and Sventeenth Century Culture

Milton had briefly supported the Presyterian reformers of the Westminster Assembly, but he soon became alienated from the "Enforcers of Conscience," denouncing "New Presbyter" as "but Old Priest writ large."
Milton's epigraph from Tasso's Gierusalemme liberata in his tribute to Manso (published in his 1645 Poems) was a graceful allusion to Manso's earlier patronage of Tasso as Milton sought similar patronage for himself.
Milton's radical protestant arguments for divorce on grounds of incompatibility were more idealistic than licentious, but to many contemporaries his tract seemed a shocking indicator of just where radicalism would lead.
