II. Natural Darkness is occasioned by the Absence of the Sun, and Obscurity of the other Luminaries of Heaven: So some Afflictions and Calamities are occasioned by the absence of the Light of God's Word, and hiding of his Face. When the Gospel is taken away from a People, that People are presently involved in thick Darkness, which is a most sore and fearful Judgment.

IV. Darkness causeth a Man to lose his Way, and wander about, and exposeth him to many Dangers: So spiritual Darkness causes a Man to stumble. Walk whilst you have the Light, lest Darkness come upon you; for he that walketh in Darkness, 1knoweth not whither he goeth. Give Glory to the Lord your God, 2before he cause your Feet to stumble upon the dark Mountains; and whilst you look for Light, he turn it into the Shadow of Death.
