Abstract
AbstractJohn Gill was born in Kettering, Northamptonshire on November 23, 1697 to Edward and Elizabeth Gill. His parents were God‐fearing individuals of the Calvinistic Baptist tradition. His father served as a Baptist deacon in Kettering. Gill grew up in a good Christian home. His early years were spent studying in the local grammar school where he excelled in languages. However, at the age of 11 he had to leave school when it was required of students to attend morning prayer at the parish church, which his parents, being Dissenters, would not allow. It was the end of Gill's formal education but he spent his time teaching himself so that he not only excelled in Greek and Latin but was quite adept at Hebrew by the age of 19.
