MAGNA CHARTA. 103 as the price of his adherence or otherwise, he con- cluded by bestowing the blessing of the Most High on those who should procure for the altar its due share of the oil and the wine ; which, in English, sig- nified supreme dominion and legal battening grounds for the monks and clergy. Such was Cardinal Stephen Langton and his di- plomacy. A faithful servant to his creed, he sacri- ficed his temporal to his spiritual allegiance, and treacherously betrayed his king into the hand...s of his powerful and rebellious subjects. John was detest- able, both as a man and a king ; but, had he been blameless as, Socrates and just as Aristides, still, if he had also been in opposition to the church, Langton, as a churchman, was bound to the course that he pursued. Whatever tended to strengthen that establishment; though it weakened the monarchy, gave more arbitrary power to the barons, or inflicted greater cruelty on the people ; it was his ecclesiasti- cal business to promote ; and he did it ; with the aid of a little farce of opposition got up between the Pope and himself.
