But I shall rather (as we) connect it with the former verse, carrying on the same intention; Or darkness, that thou canst not see.

:316p. 93

Darkness may be taken, either properly, or improperly; darkness properly taken is that of the air by the withdrawing of the Sun; This is not here intended. Darkness improperly taken is that of our state; and it is twofold. First, Internal, which is indeed ignorance, or the darkness of the mind; As if he had said, Darkness veils the eye of thy understanding, that thou canst not see, either the hand of God upon thee for thy sins, or those thy sins which have caused God to lay his heavy hand upon thee. Thy understanding is darkened, that thou canst not see; This intellectual or internal darkness is twofold.

Darkness may be taken, eyther properly, or improperly; darkness properly taken is that of the ayre by the withdrawing of the Sunne; This is not here intended. Darkness improperly taken is that of our state; and it is twofold.

Thy understanding is darkned, that thou canst not see; This intellectuall or internall darknesse is twofold.
