intended, his purpose, but little. "What he decreed,
he effected." --Milton.

execute the laws or the orders of another; to execute
a work, a purpose, design, plan, project. To perform
is much like to do, though less generally applied. It
conveys a notion of protracted and methodical effort;
as, to perform a mission, a part, a task, a work.
