i_o be_o yet_o in_o health_n i_o may_v yet_o repent_v time_n enough_o i_o shall_v not_o see_v evil_a and_o the_o like_a etc._n etc._n and_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n the_o conscience_n be_v as_o

have_v do_v peter_n with_o half_a the_o money_n and_o make_v a_o man_n take_v up_o with_o conviction_n only_o which_o the_o wicked_a man_n under_o heaven_n may_v have_v and_o make_v he_o to_o think_v that_o he_o have_v sorrow_n enough_o for_o his_o evil_a action_n when_o he_o have_v only_o remembrance_n of_o they_o sometime_o it_o deceive_v a_o man_n with_o false_a answer_n as_o jacob_n deceive_v

of_o self_n love_n or_o a_o fear_n of_o punishment_n as_o be_v ahab_n humiliation_n sometime_o it_o deceive_v he_o with_o silence_n and_o he_o think_v all_o be_v well_o because_o it_o tell_v he_o

a_o poor_a deceive_a soul_n think_v his_o conscience_n a_o good_a conscience_n and_o himself_o in_o a_o good_a case_n because_o he_o hear_v no_o otherwise_o from_o his_o conscience_n for_o it_o be_v
