by my faith
(i) by one's faith: on one's word of honour, truly; assuredly. Chiefly used parenthetically as an oath or to emphasize the truth of a statement, esp. in by my faith (also without by, as my faith). Now archaic. [Compare classical Latin meā fide on my guarantee, tuā fide on your guarantee; Anglo-Norman par ma fei and Middle French par ma foi (see par ma fay int.), Middle French sur ma foi (a1440), and ma foi (see ma foi int., mafey int.). Compare earlier par ma fay int.]
