So then, the state of an unregenerate person is darkness, and therefore he cannot see at all and mu•h darkness may remain in a person regenerate, and therefore he cannot see all (1 John 1.5.) God is light, and in him there is no darkness at all; but though the people of God h•ve light and are light, yet in them there is darkness. And because wheresoever ignorance is, there is darkness, according to the degree of that ignorance, we may take these Inferences from it.
