VI. Clouds sometimes grow thicker and thicker, threatening a dismal Storm of Thunder and Hail, causing all that are in the Field to hasten home: So the Dispensations of God's Judgments sometimes are such, that all God's People fear a dreadful Storm will come upon them; and then those who have strayed abroad, and estranged themselves from God, begin to look about them, and hasten home apace, to take Sanctuary in God.
VI. Clouds sometimes grow thicker and thicker, threatning a dismal Storm of Thunder and Hail, causing all that are in the Field to hasten home: So the Dispensations of God's Judgments sometimes are such, that all God's People fear a dreadful Storm will come upon them; and then those who have strayed abroad, and estranged themselves from God, begin to look about them, and hasten home apace, to take Sanctuary in God.
VII. Clouds cover the Face of Heaven; many Vapours gathering together rise up and darken the Sun, and keep from us the comfortable Aspect thereof: I will cover the Sun with a Cloud. The same Word that is used for a Cloud, doth signify a Multitude: So Clouds (as Mr. Greenhil observes) sometimes signify a Multitude of Men, a Multitude of Enemies, as it was prophesied concerning Nebuchadnezzar's Army, and of the great Gog, Thou shalt ascend, and come like a Storm, and shalt be like a Cloud to cover the Land.
VIII. Clouds are so swift, that they are irresistible; they pour out the Rain, and none can let them: So the Enemies, and other Troubles, come sometimes in upon God's People, that there is no stopping them.
