Thirdly, Light ariseth in darkness: By darkness is meant trouble; any thing that doth disquiet either the body or the mind. Trouble is darkness, Isa. 8.22. Look unto the earth, and behold trouble and darkness, Psa. 107.10. Such as sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death. As darkness is very disconsolate and affrighting; so trouble, where it comes, it makes every thing look like the terrors of the night.
