Is this sentence still correct though if I use "had to" instead of "must"?

1) Macbeth admits that if he had to acknowledge his deed, then it would be best for him to lose all knowledge of himself.

Thank you.

That is a run-on -- two sentences jammed together without correct punctuation to separate them. The word "then" is NOT a conjunction.

How will you fix this?
