"Let his ____ conscience find him out” (Milton, Paradise Regained) (9)

I believe the answer is:

tormentor

(Other definitions for tormentor that I've seen before include "Bully" , "Crossword setter maybe" , "cause of pain" , "cause of suffering" , "One harrying" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
