Edwards delivered his famous sermon during a revival movement intended to reinvigorate church attendance and bring more converts into the faith. He recognized that people were drifting away from church and relegating their faith to the background of their lives. The entire sermon is designed to shock listeners and instill a sense of urgency in their return to religion.
Edwards likely believed that Hell was an abstract notion to many of his listeners, and so he loaded the sermon with horrifying sense imagery to try to convince the congregation that Hell was a concrete place of eternal tortures.

cloudy night, unseen, and spread thy close curtain are all both phrases that support the motif of darkness.
A cloudy night means that all of the stars should be covered. When this occurs, it means that the sky is going to be even darker now considering the fact that all sources of light are going to now be covered. Being unseen also supports the idea that it may be too dark out for anybody to see Romeo come to meet up with her, additionally supporting the fact that there was a dark enough setting that Romeo was able to navigate easily in without worry of guards catching sight of him. Spreading thy close curtain directly relates to the darkness and how Juliet is waiting for curtains to come and cover up the sky.
An additional bonus phrase could also potentially be runaway's eyes may wink. Runaway is Juliet's term for the night, although she also considers the stars to be eyes and for them to be blinking.
