those_o man_n that_o do_v full_o and_o defile_v their_o conscience_n they_o lose_v their_o intercourse_n with_o heaven_n and_o indeed_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o god_n of_o heaven_n be_v tedious_a to_o they_o they_o be_v loath_a to_o go_v into_o his_o presence_n when_o once_o they_o have_v defile_v conscience_n if_o there_o be_v a_o hell_n in_o a_o man_n conscience_n there_o will_v not_o be_v
