particular_a nemesis_n even_o in_o our_o own_o conscience_n and_o i_o dare_v appeal_n to_o experience_n whether_o when_o a_o man_n passion_n be_v over_o and_o he_o be_v at_o leisure_n to_o consider_v calm_o what_o he_o have_v do_v he_o feel_v not_o shame_n invade_v he_o and_o a_o natural_a horror_n dart_n through_o his_o soul_n whether_o he_o do_v not_o run_v as_o it_o be_v from_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n as_o adam_n his_o forefather_n do_v as_o ashamed_a of_o his_o nakedness_n or_o sow_v some_o thin_a figleaf_n together_o some_o poor_a excuse_n to_o cover_v it_o thus_o it_o be_v at_o
