of_o faith_n so_o the_o best_a canonist_n and_o casuist_n define_v a_o promise_n though_o we_o for_o thy_o better_a understanding_n define_v it_o otherwise_o and_o the_o perform_v of_o a_o promise_n be_v a_o keep_n of_o faith_n which_o be_v common_o call_v faithfulness_n for_o hence_o god_n be_v call_v faithful_a because_o when_o he_o have_v be_v gracious_a to_o give_v his_o faith_n by_o make_v a_o promise_n he_o will_v be_v faithful_a to_o keep_v his_o faith_n by_o perform_v it_o and_o therefore_o the_o accept_n of_o a_o promise_n which_o intercede_v between_o the_o make_n and_o perform_v be_v a_o take_n of_o faith_n for_o when_o the_o thing_n give_v be_v faith_n than_o the_o thing_n take_v must_v needs_o be_v the_o same_o and_o therefore_o faith_n also_o and_o if_o the_o performance_n of_o a_o promise_n do_v denominate_v he_o faithful_a who_o make_v it_o as_o in_o all_o good_a writer_n and_o in_o common_a speech_n it_o do_v much_o more_o do_v the_o acceptance_n of_o the_o promise_n denominate_v he_o faithful_a who_o take_v it_o because_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o taker_n do_v natural_o precede_v the_o faithfulness_n of_o the_o giver_n as_o acceptance_n natural_o precede_v performance_n but_o if_o god_n promise_v have_v any_o effect_n at_o all_o and_o be_v not_o frustrate_v by_o a_o refusal_n that_o effect_n in_o thou_o must_v needs_o be_v faith_n for_o see_v god_n
