- 4Unto this is added, the smoke of the hellish and infernal spirits, all dark, and darkening all things in heaven and in earth. These spiritual darknesses are the causes of all disorder and confusion. For the devil at a time certain (whereof verse five) sent these darknesses into his kingdom, that he might at once, and with one impression overthrow all things, and pervert if it were possible the elect themselves. By this darkness all spiritual light, both active as of the Sun, and passive, as of the air which is lightened by the Sun, is taken away: and this is that which goeth before the spirits: it followeth of the spirits themselves.Vnto this is added, the smoke of the hellish and infernall spirites, all darke, and darkening all things in heauen and in earth.
