4309. In the internal historical sense 'He blessed him there' means that so it was done. This is clear from the meaning of 'blessing' in this case as the fact that they played the part of a representative of the Church, dealt with in 4290. Therefore the meaning here of 'He blessed him there' means that so it was done.
