Which two lines from John Milton's Paradise Lost provide clues to his purpose in writing the epic poem?
Wast present, and with mighty wings outspread
Dove-like sat'st brooding on the vast Abyss
And mad'st it pregnant: What in me is dark
Illumine, what is low raise and support;
That to the highth of this great Argument
I may assert th' Eternal Providence,
And justifie the wayes of God to men.
Say first, for Heav'n hides nothing from thy view
Nor the deep Tract of Hell, say first what cause
Mov'd our Grand Parents in that happy State,

The lines that provide clues to the purpose of John Milton in writing the poem Paradise Lost are the last two lines:
say first what cause
Mov'd our Grand Parents in that happy State
The reason is that the poem explains the origin of Satan and why Adam and Eve left the Paradise, or ‘Garden of Eden’. The poem is based on the scriptures of the Bible and follows the book of Genesis. When John Milton mentions ‘our Grand Parents’ he is in fact referring to Adan and Eve, because they were the first human created by God. Then, if we take this information into account , it is easy to realize that all humans are their Grand Children. ‘what cause’ is the reason that led them to be expelled of the Paradise, which is the sin of Eve of taking the the sacred tree’ forbidden fruit. The ‘happy state’ he is talking about is the comfortable place they had received by God’s grace and lost because of their human weakness to resist temptation from the Devil. Therefore, those lines are referring to the facts that lead Adam and Eve to lose God’s trust and the Paradise, so they ‘had to move out’ and lost their happiness.
