Secondly, Some understand darkness literally, and plainly of the darkness of the night, and interpret thus, He believes ⟨p. 103⟩not that he shall return out of darkness; that is, he is so haunted with fears every night, when he lies down, that he thinks he shall never live till the morning: This is a good sense.
Secondly, Some understand darknesse litterally, and plainly of the darknesse of the night, and interpret thus, He beleeves ⟨p. 103⟩not that he shall returne out of darknesse; that is, he is so haunted with feares every night, when he lyes downe, that he thinks he shall never live till the morning: This is a good sense.
Thirdly, Others understand this darkness, to be death, he hath a perfect sound of dread when death comes, because he believes not that he shall return out of that darkness. The resurrection is the consolation of the Saints, in the midst of greatest dangers and thickest darkness; because, though they dye, yet they believe they shall return out of darkness. But a wicked man, who believes, or hopes for nothing beyond the time of this life, if he be once cast into the Grave, either thinks he shall lye there for ever, or if he believes he shall rise, yet he doth not believe that he shall rise out of darkness, for he shall rise in darkness, and go down to everlasting darkness.
