for his fault

Hume, Patrick. Annotations on Milton's Paradise Lost London: Printed for Jacob Tonson ..., 1695. Print.

Punish'd with loss of Heaven, Fined by Eternal Banishment from Bliss. Amerc'd is Law-Terru, signifying a Pecuniary Punishment of Offender against the King or other Lord, who is in miscricordia, that is, who has transgress'd and is to stand to the Mercy of the Lord: But Amerc'd has a strange Affinity witht he Greek to deprive, to take away, as Homer has used it much to our purpose.
