perhaps the change from れ to り is related to the written practice of making compound verbs by り rather than って, and putting the "not" before "do", when in more common, modern Japanese it would come out more like:

至誠に悖ったことが無かったか

from the Wikipedia, that line translates to "Hast thou not opposed sincerity?"

I'm just a passing amateur that found this interesting, though
