Commonly we say a [divine] judgment falls upon a man for something in him we cannot abide. An example we have in King James, concerning the death of Henry the IVth of France; one said he was killed for his wenching, another said he was killed for turning his religion. No, says King James, (who could not abide fighting) he was killed for permitting duels in his kingdom.
