Describing his early spiritual interests, Milton wrote: “I began by devoting myself when I was a boy to an earnest study of the Old and New Testaments in their original languages. ”
Oma varajaste usuliste huvide kohta kirjutas Milton: „Pühendusin juba poisipõlves Vana ja Uue Testamendi tõsisele uurimisele algkeeltes. ”
