            (d) Do, as an auxiliary, is supposed to have been first
                  used before imperatives. It expresses entreaty or
                  earnest request; as, do help me. In the imperative
                  mood, but not in the indicative, it may be used with
                  the verb to be; as, do be quiet. Do, did, and done
                  often stand as a general substitute or representative

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Diligence \Dil"i*gence\, n. [F. diligence, L. diligentia.]
      1. The quality of being diligent; carefulness; careful
            attention; -- the opposite of negligence.
  
      2. Interested and persevering application; devoted and
            painstaking effort to accomplish what is undertaken;
            assiduity in service.
  
                     That which ordinary men are fit for, I am qualified
                     in; and the best of me is diligence.   --Shak.
  
      3. (Scots Law) Process by which persons, lands, or effects
            are seized for debt; process for enforcing the attendance
            of witnesses or the production of writings.
  
      {To do one's diligence}, {give diligence}, {use diligence},
            to exert one's self; to make interested and earnest
            endeavor.
  
                     And each of them doth all his diligence To do unto
                     the fest[82] reverence.                     --Chaucer.
  
      Syn: Attention; industry; assiduity; sedulousness;
               earnestness; constancy; heed; heedfulness; care;
               caution. -- {Diligence}, {Industry}. Industry has the
               wider sense of the two, implying an habitual devotion to
               labor for some valuable end, as knowledge, property,
               etc. Diligence denotes earnest application to some
               specific object or pursuit, which more or less directly
               has a strong hold on one's interests or feelings. A man
               may be diligent for a time, or in seeking some favorite
               end, without meriting the title of industrious. Such was
               the case with Fox, while Burke was eminent not only for
               diligence, but industry; he was always at work, and
               always looking out for some new field of mental effort.
  
                        The sweat of industry would dry and die, But for
                        the end it works to.                        --Shak.
  
                        Diligence and accuracy are the only merits which
