A close friend of the poet John Milton, Overton was the author of various articles and pamphlets, as well as poetry written for his wife Anne. Despite his strong views, he was a political realist whose religious beliefs helped him endure long periods of imprisonment, once noting that “There are given to us exceeding great and precious promises; if in patience we possess our spirits, we shall inherit the promises".
