2 Many a Child of God walks in much dishonour and baseness, and yet have fellowship with God, 1 Cor. 4.13, Psal. 22.6. David complains he was a worm and no man, a reproach and scorn of men, and yet was a good man, and had fellowship with God, therefore it cannot be meant of these two, for those that are in such a condition, are ordinarily most sound and sincere, whereas others having more comfort, walk more loosely and carelessly, but if we live in Uncleanness or Ignorance, we have no Fellowship with God, Prov. 19.2. God is a God of Light, omniscient, and how can he have fellowship with God, that hath no light in him? Hos. 4.6. my people perish for want of Knowledge; Ignorance is a certain note of destruction, Prov. 29.18. where no vision is, the people perish, that is, where there is no means of seeing, Matth. 15.14.
