But fifthly, I rather conceive, as often elsewhere, so here, by darkness is meant, outward affliction. When the destroyer comes upon him, and he is cast into a sad dark condition, he hath no faith for himself, that he shall return out of it, or be delivered from it. This is an extreme aggravation of the miserable state of a wicked man, who either hath no outward prosperity, or his prosperity is nothing to him, he enjoys it not; but if ever he fall into outward misery, how great is his misery, so great that he gives himself for gone, a lost man for ever: He believes not that he shall return out of darkness.

Observe hence.
