A Troubled Conscience
Genesis 3:8
And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day…


As the stag which the huntsman has hit flies through bush and brake, over stock and stone, thereby exhausting his strength, but not expelling the deadly bullet from his body, so does experience show that they who have troubled consciences run from place to place, but carry with them wherever they go their dangerous wounds.

(Gotthold.)
