Præbere · Exhibere · Præstare · Representare
Præbere and exhibere denote a voluntary act of the giver, by which a want or wish of the receiver is satisfied; the præbens (præhibens) is considered in relation to the receiver, to whom he gives up what he himself before possessed; the exhibens, in relation to the world at large, and generally gives to him who has the best claim, what he himself before possessed; whereas præstare and repræsentare denote an involuntary act of the giver, who only fulfils a duty, as to perform or discharge; the præstans releases himself from an obligation by discharging it, in opp. to being longer in a state of liability; the repræsentans fulfils a promise, in opp. to longer putting off. (iv. 132.)
