VIII. Some Days prove stormy, and high Winds arise: So sometimes the Day of Gospel-Grace proves stormy, and high Winds of Persecution arise upon a People; nay, not only Winds of Persecution, but also strange Whirl-winds of Delusions abound in it, which make it very perilous.
IX. A Day hath its Morning, its Noon, and its Evening: So hath the Day of Gospel-Grace in a Nation, and to a particular Soul, who improves it not. God threatened his People of old,1 That the Sun should go down over the Prophets, and the Day should he dark over them.

X. The Day suits not with some Men, they are for the Night; they are said to rebel against the Light, they hate the Light, the Night is for them; such are the Thief and Adulterer:1 The Whorish Woman waits for the Twilight, even for the black and dark Night. So many Sinners love not the Day of Gospel-Light, they are for the Night of Ignorance and Error. They had rather have Popery come, or any Thing come, than to have the Gospel, or the powerful Preaching thereof; it suits best with their carnal Hearts, they love that Religion that indulges them in their brutish Lusts.
