The old respect for the oath was gone, as the Statute of Winchester shows, and whether the respect for truth (which, as has been aptly said, generally stands in inverse ratio to respect for the path) had proportionately increased, is not yet clear. Historic truth had become hopelessly overlaid by the roman- ticists, but in the more elaborate international diplomacy of the fourteenth century, and in the law, new ways were discovered for pinning men's imagina- tion down to the prose of veracity.
...An intensely artificial society, it had the qualities and the defects of human artifice. It would fix for ever the generations of men in unalterable relations : but in this fixity there might be some security.
" Whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even 1250-1350] SUMMARY 417 that which he seemeth to have " was a doctrine less true of mediJEval than of modern society. In the Middle Ages the idea of allowing free competition, whether in society or commerce, could not be formu- lated ; geographical conditions put it outside men's ken even as a possible generalisation ; and the local units, which had built up all that men knew of prosperity out of monopoly, could think in no terms save those of monopoly.
